Bricks and Mortar

July 11th, 2011

Hey folks,

Just wanted to talk about bookstores, the real ones you can walk into and browse without a monitor or a mouse (we hope). I’ve loved going to my local bookstores since as long as I can remember. I like to walk through the aisles and see all the cover art, pick up the books and read the back cover. To me, that is book buying.

I understand we live in a new age where it’s easier to shop online, and I don’t begrudge anyone that convenience. But if you’re a reader–a true lover of books–you need to consider what life would be like if our physical bookstores closed down. Sure, you could still find the works of your favorite big-name authors online, but what about the new voices just emerging? Can you trust web browsers to pick out the next GRR Martin, Joe Abercrombie, or Stephen King?

And for authors, book stores represent a great way to connect with our readers. It’s a little difficult to do a book signing online.

Just something to think about the next time you’re looking for a book.

My new book, Shadow’s Lure, can be found at Barnes & Noble, Borders, Aaron’s Books (Lititz, PA), Between Books (Claymont, DE), and other fine bookstores.

Lure out in Stores

June 22nd, 2011

Hey folks,

At long last, Shadow’s Lure is out in stores. I took this photo in my local Borders. As you can see, they also have a few copies of Son.

I hope you enjoy the sequel as much I loved writing it. I’m working hard on book three.

    Hey everyone.   As you might have seen from my social media posts, I’ve made a page on Patreon. It’s a service that allows people to pledge money to their favorite artists (those of us who don’t yet make a living wage through our art). I think of it as an investment into my future. […]
