So I sold a book yesterday at the terrific event at the Book House on Manchester. It went to a postal carrier who stopped by to deliver the mail while the event was going on. She said she bought it not because of the book itself, but rather, because I am “good looking.” I did not consider this as an aspect of my marketing strategy, but if that’s what it takes, I’m guess I’m okay with it.

The Independent Bookstore Alliance is sponsoring a “book cruise” this coming Saturday, Oct. 22, where book lovers can take a coach to three of St. Louis’ best-loved independent bookstores, with a stop at Hacienda mexican restaurant in between for lunch. I’ll be taking part by participating in a signing at the first stop, The Book House, at 9719 Manchester Road in Rock Hill.  Come by at 10:30 or so and see me and a number […]

Great work by Marie Jakle on the design.  Gonna drop about 500 of these dudes in the mail real soon.

Just wanted to let you know that I’m putting the final touches on two book release events planned for November.  Tenatively scheduled for about 6 p.m. on Sunday, November 6th will be an evening reception-type event.  Location is a secret until final details are ironed out but it should be pretty cool.  The second event will be the following Sunday, November 13th, approximately 4 p.m. at Sunset Hills Community Center.  At both events, I’ll talk […]

Great kick-off event for the new book Wednesday night in Springfield. Great to see old friend Missy Shelton Belote and grateful for the terrific piece she did on Ozarks Public Radio promoting the novel and the visit. You can click the “listen now” link above story title to hear this piece which you can find at this link.

Pretty psyched to be headed to Springfield Wednesday for some fun book stuff, including a lecture and book signing Wednesday evening. It will be held at the Pythian Castle, a cool, historic old building with very definite ties to the POW story. Doors open at 6:45 p.m.  Program at 7:15 p.m.  If you’re anywhere in SW Missouri, I hope to see you there!

Great news – the novel My Enemy, My Love is available for purchase through Amazon for just $4.49.  Works on Kindle, iPad, etc.  And, if you want, I’ll provide an author autograph (done in sharpie) right there on your Kindle device or iPad at no extra charge!  Currently looking at the best way to get it into other formats as well.

First shipment of books arrived.  This is what 1,000 lbs of books looks like.  The electronic version is a lot lighter.
