Fatal Score Launched

Jason and James made fine music

Fatal Score launched on November 18th.  It was wonderful experience that brought together people from so many strands of my life … old friends, new friends, writers, musicians … a marvelous mixture.  I took in 41 books and emerged with none … also marvelous.  Here are some pictures.

The Professor reading

Sisters’ Sludge allowed me to host the event.  The book itself is up on Amazon in trade paperback and e-book format.  The paperback is also printed through IngramSpark, which supplies booksellers and libraries.

Now to the job of editing the audio files I recorded almost two years ago at son Edward’s studio in Santa Monica, California (and some rewrites more recently at Brytespot Studios in Minneapolis).  That will take a while … I hope to have the audiobook out in February.

In any case, thanks to all who came, saw, and brought your good juju. It made the event hum.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Fatal Score is Up and Running

Fatal Score is live on Amazon in both trade paperback and e-book.  The formal launch here in Minneapolis is this coming Sunday, November 18th.  The NFL has been considerate enough to move the Vikings-Bears game from midday to evening. In Minnesota, that means a bump in attendance for my 2:00 to 4:00 launch party.

I am grateful for some wonderful professional reviews and glad that the work to get the book properly listed is over.  My advance copy readers are putting up their reviews.  IngramSpark has produced the copies I need for the launch, libraries and so on faster than I expected.  Goodreads is on line.

My next job is to market the book and to edit the audio version.  It’s never ending, but I love the writing part.  As I said in response to a Goodreads question, being in the business of writing is my hall pass to hang out with as smart, as creative, as interesting a group of people as I have ever known.
