Leading up to the program there was a marked increase in the circulation of Brian Freeman's books. The local book club selected 'Immoral' as one of their monthly books in anticipation for the program and we created a book display with other Freeman titles owned by the Rock County Library and those items were constantly checked out. We had a sizable crowd at the program and participants had thoughtful questions to ask. Many attendees purchased Brian Freeman's books. The surveys we received were overwhelmingly positive: 'It was so fabulous to put the person of Brian together with the books that I have read. It was great to hear of how he puts his books together and it will make my reading of his books so much richer and fuller.' 'Thank you, thank you thank you! I loved this experience. I have never been able to experience something like this before.'
