Cooper Street Half-Price Books Signing June 23 2014

Catherine Team and I made several new friends during my book signing at the Half-Price Books and Records on South Cooper Street in Arlington, TX, in late June. We had a great time sharing information about Oil Rush with everyone who stopped by and learning about the types of books that young readers favor now.  I was especially intrigued by a conversation with Don Willingham, an author who wrote and sold 13 books in 10 years. Don graciously shared his experiences and insights into the sometimes seemingly mystical world of writing.  

We’re planning on seeing everyone at our next signing appearance on Saturday, 7-12, at Half-Price Books and Records in Mansfield, 1551 U.S. Highway 287, from  Noon – 3 p.m. Stop by and say hello.

BookExpoAmerica Was a Blast! June 11 2014

Our recent trip to BookExpoAmercia in New York City was a great time. We made new fans and friends, met lots of colleagues in the publishing business, other authors and a host of celebrities. More than 25,000 guests attended the four-day event, which included an on-air interview on one of the show’s premier stages. We introduced Oil Rush and Melanie Stuart to a lot of book lovers and had a wonderful time meeting other authors and a host of celebrities, like Neil Patrick Harris, Billy Idol, Jane Lynch and Jason Segal.

Arlington Heights High School Class of 1960 Fundraiser May 24 2014

We spent a delightful Saturday night at a recent book signing at the Arlington Heights High School Class of 1960 fundraiser at The Point tavern in Fort Worth. Fort Worth author and friend Patsy Dorris Hale and I shared the author’s table at the event. I was signing Oil Rush while Patsy was signing her new novel, He Heard His Brother Call His Name. It was good to see several lifelong friends and to share my novel with new fans.
