Valley Appearance  -  @ 00:42
Another great appearance this Saturday. Thanks to Aaron, the book manager, for coming by even though it was his day off (did I tell you book managers were cool?). The staff was great, as is always the case.

I had the opportunity to meet some very cool people, which is also always the case when I go to these appearances. I met some new readers (hello Deb!) and got to see some returning readers (hello Kevin!). Even saw some folks from work – small world, y'know?

Next up – November 10th at the Borders in North Spokane at 1 PM. If you’re reading this and you can make it, please come by. You don’t have to buy a book (though it is allowed), just say hello.

More Appearances  -  @ 16:41
My appearances at both the South Hill Hastings yesterday and the Shadle Hastings today went very well.

If I’d have thought to bring my camera, I’d be posting another picture, especially one of Trish, the book manager at Shadle. Another super person that deserves a huge thank you every time I come by (and not just for then, but for all she does to promote local authors all the time)!

I also wanted to announce that I’ve nailed down the date for my appearance at the north Spokane Borders – November 10th at 1 PM. Hope to see you there.

And don’t forget that I’m at the Valley Hastings on the 20th of this month from 4 to 7 PM.

Beyond that, I’ll be in Coeur d'Alene and Seattle in November and at Auntie’s Bookstore in December. You can check my website for a complete Appearance Schedule.

Thanks to all the nice people that took the time to stop and chat at my table this weekend, whether you bought a book or not (though many of you did – thanks!).

First Bookstore Appearance  -  @ 16:33
My first bookstore appearance for Heroes Often Fail went very well. I’ve included two pictures from it. The first is just me with the books on my table (all copies of Under a Raging Moon had sold out by the time this photo was taken). The second is a picture of me with the book manager for the northside Hastings in Spokane. Her name is Brooke.

Little secret.

Brooke rocks.

She’s cool. Since the first time I walked into the store as a barely published local author, she has been hugely supportive.

Let me tell you about book managers in general – 99% of them are cool just like Brooke. They work in the bookstore because they love books. And they are very supportive of authors in general and local authors even more so.

Librarians are much the same.

I’ve been very lucky so far in my brief career to have wonderful support from these men and women in local bookstores and library systems. They’re super people.

Oct 6th Appearance in Spokane

Me with book manager, Brooke!

Also, please check my website for future appearances throughout the rest of 2007 (including three more this month right here in Spokane) right HERE.

Radio Appearance  -  @ 13:58
I will be appearing on the Mark Fuhrman show on Tuesday, October 2nd at about 9:30 AM (PST) to discuss the release of Heroes Often Fail. The show is carried on 1510 KGA AM in Spokane, Washington...and I am pretty sure you can listen live on the 'net right here.
