Rum To Roots
TODAY we reached a milestone. From Rum to Roots is now available on Amazon for purchase.
We are also in the midst of planning for a release party that will feature live music and even performance art. The festivities will be held at Haight st and Fillmore at the Cafe International. Food and drinks will be available for purchase as well as copies of the novel. But there is a limited supply. Copies will be sold on a first come first serve basis. Best of all we are offering all the novels for a special release party price of $15 which includes an autograph by me, the author. If we do run out of copies we will make arrangements to ship them to you free of charge.
For those who have already ordered a copy through this website, please be patient. We will receive everyone’s books on August 7, 2013 and books will be mailed as soon as possible.
Needless to say we are really excited. A website, run by my good friend John Orr, who wrote a wonderful sci-fi-paranormal thriller called Someone Dark Has Found Me, has just published a review of my novel From Rum To Roots. You can find it here. In the review, John writes of the novel:
His knowledge and understanding of Jamaica and its people runs very deep, and it is a living reality in this fine novel, which first shows us all about Jamaica and its people — the workers, the bums, the business people, the Obeah. And then the book takes us to the United States, where success is possible, but at a very high price.
Pretty heady stuff for me. But it thrills me that he liked the book, and I’m hoping that you will enjoy it too. I look forward to seeing you at Cafe International this Sunday, and if you can’t make it, you can come right here to rumtoroots. com to watch a live broadcast of our event at 5:00 PM PST or 8:00 PM Eastern.
