First things first…a "virtual book signing" for anyone who wants a personalized, signed copy of THE BRILLIANT FALL OF GIANNA Z but can’t make it to an event…
Josie and Elizabeth and the other awesome booksellers at Flying Pig Bookstore are making it possible for everybody to attend our launch party in spirit, if not in person. If you can’t make it to one of my events listed below but would like a personalized, signed book for yourself or for holiday gifts, we’re having a "virtual book signing" on September 5th, the day of my launch party at Flying Pig. Here’s how it works:
- Call Flying Pig Bookstore at 802-985-3999 and tell them you’d like to order a signed copy of THE BRILLIANT FALL OF GIANNA Z.
- They are fabulous and will have a form ready to take your order. They’ll ask for your name, contact and payment information, how many copies you’d like, and how you’d like them signed.
- Right after our launch event on September 5th, I’ll sign your books and tuck a bookmark or two in each one. (I’d send you some cookies, too, but they don’t travel as well.)
- The fabulous Flying Pig folks will send out your order, and you’ll get your books in the mail.
Of course, if you can make it to one of my real live events this fall, I’d love to see you in person! Here’s where Gianna Z. and I will be through the fall. Starred events are open to the public.
