A fun time was had by all!
I’m a bit late thanking everyone who attended last week’s book reading and signing at Societe Brewing here in San Diego. Despite the acoustics, it was a phenomenal place to hold an event like this. Although it was scheduled to end at 8:00, there were still people sipping their beers and engaging in conversation when we left around 9:15. Who says you can’t do a successful book event in a brewery? Pshah! Books go well with brews. In fact I would say that my three most favorite beverages when reading an engrossing book are tea, wine, and beer. And how do I choose what to drink? The book’s subject matter determines the beverage choice and I'll just leave it at that.
But I digress. Many thanks to Societe for providing the venue and some astounding beers. The fancy dancy sausages provided by Left Coast Links were pretty darn good too. If you ever get to try their dogs I highly recommend both the elk and boar sausages. Wow! Next time I’m going to try their bison.
Many people at the event asked me how the sequel is coming along. (I guess the word is out that indeed there is a sequel on the way.) I was happy to report that the first draft is done and I am now going over edits provided by my editorial committee. I’m hoping to have the editing and rewriting finished within a month. Then it will be onto a designer to come up with a cover that perfectly illustrates the gist of the story and will compel potential readers (meaning you) to want to read it. Consequently, I’m still in the “grind” stage, but can see the end of the road. My goal is still for the book to come out this coming summer so that all of you can take a copy with you for your proverbial beach reading.
After that? Well, either I’m going to plunge ahead with book #3 in the series or take a break to write another story that has been mulling around in my head for a while. Do stories ever “call” to you? Well, they call to me and this other story has been almost screaming at me lately. I need to write it; it’s a story that begs to be told. It can be ignored only so long.
Happy reading till next time.
