Upcoming Book Signing

This week's entry is going to be a quickie. I just wanted to let everyone who hasn't heard through other channels that I have a book signing coming up in a couple weeks. I'll be at the Parkersburg and Wood County Public Library on Emerson Avenue on Saturday, January 24 from 2:00 to 3:00PM. There will be books for sale and I'll sign books for anyone who is interested in that sort of thing. There will be a drawing for a gift card, so come by even if you already have a signed copy!



Special thanks to Brian Raitz, the director of the library, for arranging this opportunity for me. It's exciting to know that someone in his position has such a commitment to promoting local authors. It means a lot.

I see events like these as an important way to get my name and face out to a wider audience. So far, the vast majority of my sales have gone to people I know and, to a lesser degree, people they know. If I want to succeed as a writer, I need to go beyond that. So, while I'm excited to see friends and family there, the people I hope to reach with this signing are people who don't know me but that are interested in my genre. That's the key to growing sales.

Comment here or on Facebook if you have questions. And let me ask a favor of those of you who've read and enjoyed Harsh Prey. Another great aid to book sales is positive reviews. If you would consider writing a review for me, at Amazon or Goodreads, I would be deeply grateful.
