Bookstore Tuesday


It’s Bookstore Tuesday, and today I’m going to tell you all the exciting stuff happening at All on the Same Page Bookstore!

First, we have the Big Red Tub, full of FREE books – stop by and grab a couple! All topics, all genres. Second, THIS week only, all of our used books are just $3.00 – hardcover and paperback! AND we have coffee, a lot of varieties, and FREE cookies. What more could you want? I mean, besides all the great books we stock by local authors…

And we have a great line-up of author events this month too, and into July: Ned Randle this coming Saturday, a surprise guest on June 15, the launch of the new YA novel, P.A.W.S. on the 22nd, Pam Foster, author of Bigfoot Blues and Redneck Goddess on June 28 – a Friday instead of a Saturday, don’t forget! June 29 we’ll be hosting L.S. Murphy, author of the YA book, Reaper.

July 1 brings a special Monday evening event, with details coming soon: Anne Rodgers will be in town and she’ll be giving a talk on her new book, Kiss and Tell – and it’s not fiction! Ladies, this a night for you…

We’re also hosting two book launches in July – The American Queen, Dacia Wilkinson, on July 20 and Recycled, by yours’ truly, on July 27.

Let’s jump back to June for a quick moment: in conjunction with our P.A.W.S. book launch on June 22, we’re hosting an event for Tenth Life Cat Rescue – come on out at 11:30 or so and meet some adorable kitties, see how you can help, and maybe even bring home a kitten to its forever home!

And, after you’ve met the kitties and picked up your copy of P.A.W.S. – and entered the drawing for an awesome cat charm! – you can scoot on down to our friends at The Book House. They’re having a barbeque that day, along with some great specials, and get this – you can even help them pack up for their big move down the street to Kirkwood!

So, yep, we’re busy, busy, busy! And no, we didn’t forget the kids: we have a monthly storytime on the second Tuesday of the month, 10:30 a.m. AND we have a ton of books on those summer reading lists – you can RENT one for just $1! Keep it as long as you need it…

One more:

Our summer kids’ writing contest is about to kick off! Details coming very soon, so watch our website and Facebook page!

Ahem – There IS a Third Book…


Those of you are observant may have noticed, here in the sidebar, that I have a third book published. Of course, you may have just skimmed past it as we all tend to do – shoot, even I’ve mostly forgotten about it!

And, too, I use the words “book” and “published” rather loosely…

“So You Wrote a Book: Now What?” is more of a booklet… then again, it’s priced at just 99 cents. I kind of drew the line at actually giving away my work, but it’s not exactly novel length either, so – 99 cents. And occasionally, it’s free.

Heck yes, I’d love to see a massive increase in downloads today, but that’s not the point. Okay, it is the point, but my main point is this:

Writing is hard work, and every writer wants some kind of pay-off. Maybe you just want to share information or knowledge or a good story with the world – but it’s still a thrill whenever you get a sale, right? Or maybe you’re in it for the money?

When I stop laughing, I’ll get back to you on that…

Sure, you could be the next King or Patterson; more likely, you’ll earn a decent living as a writer or, sadly, not one thin dime. Oh, yes, I had a point, didn’t I?

Once that book is written, and you’ve decided to self-publish or go indie or whatever you want to call it – or, really, even if you have a publisher, large or small – you need to take action. And “So You Wrote a Book” can help you do just that.

The book (booklet) talks about your product, your publicity, your professionalism. Oh, and pricing; wouldn’t want to leave out another “p” word! A lot of this can be found online in seventeen different places – why not have it all handy-dandy on your own computer/device, in just ONE spot?

So go ahead, click the link, buy the book. Er, booklet. Whatever. Just read it, won’t take long, and it might even spark some ideas to get busy on your own promotion and increase those sales!
