Under my Belt

     Well, my first book event has come and passed and considering the lack of publicity that was done it went as well as could be hoped. Over all it was a very enjoyable experience. The staff at Hard Wood Coffee Co. was enjoyable to work with and the locale was very charming and homey. I was pleased with the event kit that I had put together and with a few minor tweaks I think I am comfortable with it so I can scratch that off my pre-events list.

     Looking forward, I am having a banner made that I will be able to place at events that will quite loudly proclaim who I am and what I am doing. I am also having a second banner made that will be a "meet the author" type that I will hang at my table.

     I won't be doing anymore events until after the new year as there are some issues with my publisher I need to get worked out and then it will back to the grind of promoting Ascent of the Holy Blade and finishing up the second book in the series. Also, there have been a couple of short stories that have started to form from the mists of creation that I hope to post here over the next couple of months.

    Enjoy the holidays as they rapidly approach us. Eat, drink , and make merry with friends and family as they are the keys to a happy life and the shield that keeps the late winter blues at bay.

     Happy reading.

My First Book Signing!!!!

I will be doing my first book signing event on Friday, October 12 from 1 to 2 PM at North Wood Coffee Co.  They are located in downtown Coldwater, MI.

I'm pretty excited about this event as I grew up and graduated in Coldwater. The place that the event is happening at was the home of Branch's Department Store and where Bob Branch worked. Bob was my stepfather and can be credited with my love of the fantasy world.

When we moved into Bob's house on Coldwater Lake he had a boxed set of the Lord of the Rings on this shelving unit he kept knick knacks. I asked if I could read one of the books and he said to start with The Hobbit. I was hooked. Recognizing my interest in fantasy and SF, Bob and my Mom bought me the first four books in the John Carter of Mars series. My first "Big Boy" books. I treasured that gift through all these years and still have them tucked away safe and sound.

Hope to see you there and happy reading :)
