busy months
Friday, 13 August 2010
Hi friends, Late July was an interesting month for me. A dear friend here in Ransom Canyon hosted a reading/book signing event at her home. She sent out a lot of invitations, but you know how summer months go. None the less we had a good crowd show up. It was my very first reading for anyone but myself. It turned out to be great fun, with the people asking a lot of questions about my books and where I get my ideas. I had all of my titles there, and explained a little about each one. Sales were very good, with some taking more than one book. Thanks Jackie! You are a great friend. On August the 14th at 10:00 AM I have another book signing at Mardel's Christian store in Lubbock. I will have all of my titles there, plus the very newest one, "The Day of THe Lord" which I co-authored with Dr. Terry Gage, who will also be at the signing. He has studied Eschatology for most of his adult life and is considered an expert on the subject. The novel is about events leading up to the end times, with Dr. Gage providing the important Biblical data. He is not only a marvelous Christian, but a successful physician, and, after our birthing this novel, a dear friend. I do encourage you to get this work for your library. We are presenting it to pastors to get their feedback, and see if they would like to use it as a fundraiser; we give them a big cut. If you think your pastor would enjoy getting this novel, let me know. We are giving away as many as we can while trying not to go broke. On August the 21st we will be having a book signing at Barnes & Noble in Lubbock at 1:00 PM. Dr Gage will also be there and ready to answer questions about our novel. It should be an outstanding event. I am saddened to hear that Barnes and Noble has put itself up for sale. A great company unable to compete against Ebooks. I guess I will have to get into Epublishing, but I haven't the faintest idea how you go about it or who to contact. If any of you have an inside track on a good Ebook publsiher, please let me know. The world is changing too fast for my liking. I am also starting to collect names for an email list of persons interested in my writings. I plan to send out periodic updates on what is happening, new releases and things of that ilk. If you wish to be on the list, just send me your email address. I promise, no pop up adds! Remember that the Lord smiles at the mention of your name. Lyle
