Come Meet Me at My First Official Book Signing!

I’m excited to announce that I will be having my first official book signing on Tuesday, September 17^th from 5:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. at The James Joyce Restaurant in Patchogue, NY. So if you’re in the Long Island area (or New York City area and want to take a ride), here’s an opportunity to meet me in person and tell me to my face how disappointed you were in my last novel. I kid! But honestly, if you want to do that, I’m open to criticism, as long as it’s constructive and you buy a copy of one of my books! 😊 I’ll be signing copies of both Danger Peak and Déjà View. The best part is, food will be available, and admission is free!

Here are the event highlights:

• There will be a raffle for a $50 Amazon gift card. (You have to be there to win.)
• Enjoy complimentary professional headshots.
• Free food! Indulge in free trays of delectable food from James Joyce, available for all attendees.

This “Books & Bites” event is being sponsored by the group Long Island Authors, and there will be many other authors from “Lawn Guy Land” there. How many? Glad you asked! Here’s a list of confirmed names so far (and the book they’re most known for):

Whew! I hope we can all fit! According to their website, The James Joyce Restaurant is “a modern space with classic Irish taste,” and it was named after the famed Irish novelist, so this place is a good fit for author signings. It is located at 49 South Ocean Avenue in Patchogue, NY. You can view their website here:

To sweeten the pot, I’m giving away an ‘80s-themed gift to the first 15 people who buy one of my books, so get there early before they’re all gone. If you can’t attend the event, I’d appreciate you sharing the QR code above to your online and in-person communities. Let’s pack the joint!

P.S.: Next blog (in 2 weeks): An Even Bigger Announcement

P.P.S.: I wrote this was my first “official” book signing because technically, I signed books last year at my cousin’s book signing in New Jersey, but it was really her gig, and she was nice enough to invite me to join the book-signing fun. If she’s reading this, I would invite you to sign your books, but 1) this isn’t really my event, and 2) I’m pretty sure you have to live on Long Island to attend as an author. (It’s called “Long Island Authors,” after all.)

P.P.P.S.: Déjà View is now available on Amazon and Barnes & Noble:
