I didn’t advertise the heck out of my book launch. I wanted it to be cozy and have a couple of dozen people show up. I planed it for our coffee shop, the Well, as one of their Friday night Events. But, over 100 people showed up and I signed 91 books! I consider that an amazing response. I want to thank all my friends who showed up to kick off the release of “The 13th Demon: Altar of the Spiral Eye”. The evening started with the book signing followed by my introduction of the ink*well. Then we drew cards for prizes: an iPad2, a Nook touch, a Kindle, and two book collections for aspiring writers as well as a few of my new tee shirts.

We had a “Southern Baptist open bar” with all the coffee and soft drinks and luscious snacks and pastries anyone wanted to eat. After the prizes, I spoke for about 25 minutes on “One Book’s Journey: Getting Published in the 21st Century”. I met so many wonderful people and the evening was just grand! Thank you again for coming. Here are just some of the pictures:
