I've done a couple books. And there's nothing more gratifying than meeting someone interested in your book face-to-face and discussing the book.

But not everyone who might be interested can make it to a book reading or signing.

In an interesting new wrinkle, Cabot, Ark.-based Variance Publishing and Jeremy Robinson, author of the science thriller, "Antarktos Rising," are holding what they claim to be the first virtual book signing.

It's being done via Skype Video.

Readers are requested to sign up for Skype, buy the book and then schedule for a virtual signing Oct. 22-25.
