Even though we got in early it was more expensive than usual and I feel that it is worth it!!! The networking is in the Times Square area and will probably attract a few high profile people.
I hope to make some worthwhile connections and will keep you posted!!! The event is hosted by Mars Ice {Social} so we’ll see!!!

ps The event location was announced just 5 days before the event to keep it exclusive that’s why I am not posting pics until after the event! PEACE ✌️
The Union (NJ) Public Library's Author Fair Flyer has been released, and you can see my me in the 11-1pm section on the far right. The fair is on September 26, 2026, in the main library.
I will be bringing about a dozen various books from my collection of work, but not all of them, and definitely not more than two apiece so come early. Also, I can accept card payments because I have a card reader (JIM) on my phone if you don't want to carry cash.
The children's books will be $12 while the other books will be just $10. I'll be signing any and all books that you want signed for free with the purchase(s) even those that you purchased elsewhere so...
I Hope To See You There!!! Flyer is below.

Just a little rant about what happened over the last couple of weeks…
So, I went to a networking event in NYC and met some interesting folks. I brought three of my books (NINA, 3 Strange Scripts and The Lepidopteran) and gave them to people who genuinely were interested. The first was a lady who was starting a clothing line. She had children who were beginning to read. She was from Denmark 🇩🇰 but came to the networking from her home in Philadelphia. She wanted her children to read more so I gave her NINA and she was thoroughly pleased.
The next was a CEO of a social media company and he was very enthused about reading 3 S.S. but during our conversation another guy who I’d met earlier overheard that I was a screenwriter and we sparked another conversation. He’d met the day before a person who wanted to do an AI feature film and seeing that he owned an AI company told him to look out for potential ideas/scripts so I gave him The Lepidopteran. PERFECT 👌🏽!!!! Most of the characters and effects are made for AI/CGI.
Shortly before this event I was at the doctor’s office of the doctor who is in the dedication of 3SS. He had bought 11 copies of the book. I signed them all to which he began passing them to the staff and promised that he would give a copy to the department head!!! GLORIOUS!!!! The nurse to whom NINA is dedicated also said that she had already started to spread the word about her (and her colleagues) book so mission accomplished!!! It only takes a drop to cause a ripple in still waters…
Until next time, Dear Reader, buy a book, spread the word, and stay POSITIVE!!!

The people were nice and the service was friendly BUT $18 shots was a little ridiculous!!! Still had fun and made some interesting contacts.

I will be signing books at the Union Public Library Authors Fair on September 26 so if you want a copy or two come join me from 11-1pm!!! Mark your calendars and I’ll see you there!!!
Amazon's full bleed setting was necessary for the NINA book which meant that 3 times I had to reset the borders with my publisher to make it work for paperback printing. I was hoping that it would be completely up by now so today we'll all have to wait and see when Amazon will okay the book. Barnes & Noble said it would take 3 days so that means that today is also the release date for NINA on BN as well.
Below are the links to my author pages on both sites to make it easier to check for latest books including NINA. If it isn't up just check back later.
Also, Amazon is offering double points days August 7-8 so it's the perfect time to pick up some books!!!
