I’m the victim of my own success in an unexpected way. After four successful book signings at Books-A-Million stores their supply chain is so back-ordered for my novels that the next four of their stores have had to cancel my book-signings. Luckily Borders hasn’t had this problem, so I was able to greet my old friends at the Borders Express in Dulles Town Center Mall this afternoon. It’s always a good time and fans who bought one of my books keep returning to pick up another.

And it was another week of guest spots around the internet. A fellow crime novelist, Charlotte Phillips, mentioned me in her Author’s Den blog on July 27th about “preparing for multi-author events.” Charlotte’s first novel, “Hacksaw” debuted in October and she’s following my lead by getting involved in a local writer’s group to boost her sales.

Then the “Books and Magazines Blog” picked up a piece from my MySpace Blog talking about my being picked up on MJ Rose’s blog. THIS blog is really a compilation of popular books reviews and information on buying books and magazine online. You’ll have to flip back to July 28th to see the reference to me, but there is a lot of good stuff along the way.

And then my good friend and more literary writer Leslie Pietrzyk gave me a wonderful write-up on her blog, “Work-in-Progress” on which she explores the creative process and all things literary. Leslie is the kindest of bloggers, always including lots of links to a writer’s books and web site. She also was commenting on my success with book signings in airport stores. BTW, you don’t have to go to an airport to check out Leslie’s own great writing But in the meantime, read the Work-in-Progress blog

It looks like I’ve really started something because the airport bookstore idea was also featured on “Mike’s Writing Workshop and Newsletter.” MIke Geffner puts his compendium out monthly, filled with musings, inspiration, and advanced advice for writers of all levels and genres. You’ll have to scroll down quite a ways to find me, but again, there’s lots of valuable info here.
