First of two exciting announcements

As it says, here is the first of two exciting announcements that developed today.

Today, I signed with two stores in Stevens Point to carry my novel, "A Life Worth Dreaming About."

The stores are:
Bookfinders Bookstore, 1001 A. Brilowski Road, Stevens Point, WI 54482
Book World, 1136 Main St., Stevens Point, WI 54481

Very excited to have these two stores willing to stock my novel. That brings the total number of stores in Wisconsin carrying my book to eight.

I spoke with a Pages and Pipes in Appleton and Apple Blossom Bookstore in Oshkosh. But the manager and/or owner for both stores was not available. I will follow up with them later this week.

Shocking revelation

Did some more work on my second book tonight and I came up with a shocking twist to the story.

Stay tuned.

The goal is still have it finished by July and then shop it around.

Wish me luck!

Fireside Book Signing

I have to be honest, I was quite nervous heading into my signing today at Fireside Books and Gifts in West Bend. Being a new author with a book that's only been out two months, it was hard to guess what kind of crowd I was going to have.

While it took a little while, I did have two people that saw the story in the paper regarding the book signing and came into the store specifically looking for me and my novel. That was refreshing.

In all, six books were sold. It wasn't my goal, but I have to try and see the positive. I sold six, rather than zero.

This is going to be a long process to one day fulfill my dream of being a best-selling author. Stephen King, John Grisham and etc. had to start at the bottom, too. I believe my talent is engaging enough, just trying to convince people of that is and will be hard to do.

So for those who have purchased my novel, by whichever means you have, I sincerely thank you for your support.

Fireside Books now has a good collection of my novel - 3 hard covers and 9 paperbacks. However, all of them are signed. So if you haven't yet, please stop by and pick up a copy. And again, I sincerely thank you for your support. To hear people and see people want my book is so flattering. I hope it continues.

My next signing will be Saturday, May 12, at the Kewaskum Arts & Crafts Fair in Kewaskum, WI. The show will be held in the parking lot between the middle and high school. The show begins at 10 a.m.

Soon afterward, I will do a reading/discussion/signing at the Jack Russell Memorial Library in Hartford, WI. That'll be from 7-8 p.m. Wednesday, May 16.

Humbled

It was so neat and flattering to hear people who I don't even know say they wanted to get my book. The three ladies who called into WBKV this morning truly made my day and my week. I still have the smile on my face three-plus hours later.
