Gearing up for the Signing



I mentioned on Friday that I've got a book signing coming up on the 19th, which is just - eek - a few days away. I didn't advertise it here before because most of my local buyers aren't blog readers, and most of my blog readers aren't local. Also because I hate advertising. Getting my promotional material ready for an event like this isn't my favorite thing in the world.

But, I'll be on the square in Dallas next Saturday with copies of everything and a brand new thin-line Sharpie. I'm really excited to have another book signing opportunity - it's fun to get the face-to-face feedback.

My books arrived from the printer last week and it was a...reality check, if you will. There were a lot of boxes.



There were a lot of books.

A year and a half ago, it started with...

One



Two



Three



Four



Five



Six



Seven



Eight



Nine


I needed something sweet; I needed a break from genre, and my muse guided me to the Walkers.



Now I'm dipping my toe back into the outlaw world again (although, it's not so much dipping
anymore as plunging).


I've been drawn to stories I never anticipated writing. I've realized I tend to write the sorts of men I'd like to meet in real life. It's all organic and mysterious and it comes when it wants to. I would never have predicted this particular stack of books sitting on the dining room table. That's art, for you, though. It has a mind of its own.

I expect Keeping Bad Company will be out sometime this summer, but until then, I present to you my year-and-a-half's work in the humblest of offerings. It is my greatest dream to be able share what I love.

If you're in Dallas, GA next Saturday, I'd love for you to come see me! 8-3, roughly.

    1. Aw, thank you! I'm not sure I'll go with "proud" yet. Feels like I still have a lot more to do to get there.
