It’s nice to be home on a Sunday for the first time this month. The last three Sundays have found me in Michigan, Indiana, and Colorado. And all three times I found myself at a Buffalo Wild Wings watching my Redskins. The best was last weekend as I watched my Washington Redskins in a restaurant packed with ‘Skins fans. I was near the Denver airport, a long way from Washington.
I don’t know how many signings I’ve done for Isolation as of now. I’m thinking maybe 15 or even more. They start to blur. I had two great signings this weekend, one at the Naperville B&N where I met a couple I’ll call “M&M” and then one yesterday at the Schaumburg B&N where one of the staff at the store (Lauren) asked me to sign her entire collection of Travis Thrasher books which she had just finished read (yes, all of them!).
I have more signings coming up along with another busy week coming up.
Between doing book tour stuff and meeting tons of people, I also managed to get some writing done. Oh, yeah, I also learned that adults can catch Hand, Foot, and Mouth disease a few weeks ago. Wikipedia said that they usually don’t, but I guess when you share cereal with your nearly-two-year-old daughter who has it, you’re going to catch it. (Also, if you share food with a child who has Hand, Foot, and Mouth disease, you’re an idiot).
I’m pleased by the response that readers are having to Isolation. I’m also glad that I’m finally on a roll with the novel I’m rewriting now. I’m itching to start work on my third supernatural thriller–the plot “map” is all finished.
If you’re read Isolation and liked it, please spread the word. And if I had the privilege of meeting you at a booksigning, thanks for stopping by (and asking me where the restroom was!!).
Uck! – Hand, foot, and mouth disease?! Doesn't sound pleasant. Sounds like you're still keeping quite busy, I found a few signed copies of your books at my local B&N – pretty cool!
Cool. Which B&N did you find them at? I've been to so many it could be anywhere!
It was the Spring Hill Mall B&N in West Dundee. Btw, I finished reading Sky Blue a while back – good book. You kept me constantly guessing while reading it. I finally had to take a peak at the end (when I was more than halfway through) because I was so curious to see what would happen – I normally never peak at endings. The only problem I had while reading it is that my own fiction writing somehow started switching to present tense (since I'm writing something in first person) – now I'm reading David Copperfield to help cure myself 🙂
Glad you liked Sky Blue. It’s my favorite, probably because it’s my most personal. I might be coming back to the Spring Hill mall in the next month or so. Watch my news section in case you’re interested. And I’d love it if you posted your thoughts about Sky Blue on Amazon! Thanks.
