General News Update

Just a quick update on what’s been new with the book these days, since the site updates will now be going out as a newsletter and earlier posts will have been missed.

(If you’re receiving these website updates via email, please feel free to unsubscribe at any time via the appropriate links provided at the bottom of the email. I (Brandice) only want to provide those types of updates to those who are interested and certainly don’t want to spam the uninterested.

1. The book is officially published and available for sale. You can currently purchase the book through Lulu or through the book’s main website directly, and both of those options can be found here. Options to purchase an ebook and to purchase the book through Amazon.com will hopefully be finalized in late October. Keep in mind that when you order the book directly through ColumbusGroove.net, you have to option to receive a signed copy at the same $11.00 price!

2. The first interview with the author is available for listening! My friend Dr. Anonymous did a wonderful job interviewing me on his show, and you can find a full recording of the episode here. I’m really happy with how the interview went and was very comfortable talking with Dr. A, so it’s a really good representation of everything I want to convey about my writing process and the book itself. I’d love for all of you to have a listen. :)

3. The first book signing went very well. This past Friday was my first book signing, which was at 2nd April Galerie in Canton, Ohio, where my book will be carried for purchase on an ongoing basis. I sold some books, met another local author, and it was generally just a really great time. If you live locally and haven’t yet purchased the book, I recommend stopping down at the gallery and grabbing one. Later this week I will be dropping off some signed copies, and there will be a reading at the gallery next month (more details on that later!).

4. Some very fancy bookmarks are on the way! Thanks again to Stephanie Smanto for whipping up some awesome work for the promotional bookmarks. She adapted her original cover design to create a really neat bookmark that will now be going out with any copy of the book purchased directly through the main website. It also has the title-inspiring poem on the back side for a small peek at the collection. I will provide more info on getting a bookmark once they’re printed and in my possession.

As always, you can read any previous news items you’ve missed in the Book News section of the site, and I look forward to sharing more as the book publishing adventure continues!
