Looking Forward and Back

From Marcia at facebook.com/theauthorswife:

Now that the holidays are over (we hope yours were great) and the new year is upon us, a lot of us are thinking about time…the past, the present and the future.

One of the interesting things about the publishing business for us is that Brian and I often find ourselves actually living in the past, present and the future—simultaneously.

How so…? Well, with so many of his books out in the marketplace, Brian is always hearing from readers who are reading those previous books…so we regularly revisit the characters and their experiences in the past. Just like all of us, those characters have changed and grown…and it’s fun to hear how readers relate to them, have embraced them, and grown right along with them over the years.

As for the present…with Brian’s new book coming out soon (January 29 and it’s available for pre-order right now), he’s already busily working on the next one…a book that will reach readers’ hands in the future. Indeed, the book that he’s working on now will be published about a year from now…in 2020…!

But just as none of us knows what the future has in store for us, none of us knows what the future holds for the characters in Brian’s books. Well, none of us…except for Brian, that is…and of course, he’s not telling any of us—not even me—yet…!

MARATHON: Plymouth Community Read

The Plymouth READS program in Plymouth, Minnesota, has selected Brian’s thriller MARATHON as its citywide community read for 2019. Visit the Plymouth READS website for more information about the wide-ranging community events this spring surrounding MARATHON — and then join Brian at the Plymouth Creek Center on April 11 for a discussion of the issues raised in this ripped-from-the-headlines novel. Brian will talk about the process that led to the creation of MARATHON and answer questions about the book.

If you’d like to select one of Brian’s novels for your local community-wide read program — and invite him to join the discussion — just contact Marcia Freeman for more information.

A Year of Great Events

The wonderful event at the Bookstore at Fitger’s in Duluth this week marked the last book event for us in 2018! Marcia and I have done more than 30 events this year: book club discussions, library presentations, bookstore visits, Skype/FaceTime call-ins, library fundraisers, etc…and we have loved the opportunity to chat personally with hundreds and hundreds of readers.

So a big THANK YOU to everyone who joined us this year! We will be kicking off more events in January, and Marcia and I hope to see you in your area during 2019. In the meantime…happy reading!

(And get ready for two new books next year!)

Looking for Signed Books?

From Marcia at facebook.com/theauthorswife:

One of the greatest joys of Brian’s career as an author is the opportunity for him to get out from behind the desk…and meet readers in person. And he loves the chance to chat with folks individually and sign their books…! Often people want just his signature and the date…but in many cases, people will ask for a special inscription because the book holds some special significance for them…or it’s because they intend to give the book as a gift. Of course, he’s happy to oblige…and he’s very good at coming up with a comment or a phrase that works for any occasion. One of his favorites is when a reader asks him to sign his name and write something funny. So, when this happens…he lets his humorous side take over…and has actually written the words “something funny”…!

As we all know, giving books as gifts is a wonderful idea…and at this time of year, we’re being asked how folks can get books to give to family and friends. If you go to Brian’s website, you’ll find each of his books…and if you click on the individual books, you’ll find ways to order from your favorite bookseller, as well as a link to buy Brian’s two most recent books, ALTER EGO and THE VOICE INSIDE from us directly so that Brian can personally sign the book for you.

And while you’re there…don’t forget to pre-order Brian’s newest book, THE CROOKED STREET, which will hit bookstores and online retailers on January 29…! You won’t wanna miss the action as Frost Easton returns…!

Christmas in Stride Country

Kick off your holiday book shopping this THURSDAY 12/6 from 5-7pm at the Bookstore At Fitger’s in Duluth. I’ll be up in Stride Country signing books and chatting about what’s ahead for 2019. Because we all know that books make the perfect gift!

Not in Duluth? Can’t make the event? Call the store and order books by phone (218-727-9077)…just let them know how you’d like your gifts inscribed, and I’ll personalize them for you.

You know, I killed two people at Fitger’s in Duluth in GOODBYE TO THE DEAD…but they keep me inviting me back anyway. Now that’s Minnesota Nice.
