Such a busy week! I spent two fantastic evenings at Eastwood Elementary School signing copies of Zeke Proper and the Sacrifice at Alder Cove while the Scholastic Book Fair continued on behind me. Yes, there were actually times when there was a small line up in front of my table for kids waiting for their own signed copy. How fun is that?
The next event where the book will be available for a signature will happen either at Jan's Paperbacks again on TV Hwy and 182nd in Beaverton, or at the Southern Oregon Book and Author Fair in Ashland, Oregon on the 20th of November. Both events will happen in November, I'm just not sure quite yet which one will happen first.
Keep in mind that Christmas is just around the corner. What a great idea it would be to present yourself or a loved one with a signed copy of Zeke Proper... Go to my website or to the next event for your copy. If you live close by give me a call, I always have copies available at the house.
Talk to ya'll soon,
Brad

Book Signing at Jan's Paperbacks
Just trying to make things happen while sitting at Jan's Paperbacks. Much thanks to Debbie, the owner of Jan's for her promotion of the event. The signing was marginally successful and I had the chance to talk with some old and new friends which is always a pleasure.
Thanks to all for the support so far. I feel like the book is just starting to gain some momentum, but there's still a long way to go. Please continue to spread the word around -it's a great read.
Later, Brad

News from Oceanside, California
Okay, picture a place where the sun shines, the ocean breeze delights the senses, the palm trees sway, and the people are very friendly. That's Oceanside, California. The home of my first official book signing.
Corey and I joined together to form a great team as writer and illustrator for Zeke Proper and the Sacrifice at Alder Cove. We also got together for a combined Art Show and book signing at Hensley's, a bar and grill near Corey's home.
The venue was a perfect location for friends and strangers alike to gather. We enjoyed some food and drink. We made new friends and were reacquainted with some old ones. And, we sold some art and some books.
I'll soon be back in the Portland area where I'll resume my lunge forward for more book sales and continue my writing so that book two in the series will be ready soon.
Thanks again for all of your support. I look forward to seeing all of my fans at the next book signing. I'll be sure to keep you posted.
Cheers, Brad

An Author's Dream Come True
I've been anticipating this day for quite awhile: the day my book finally arrives. With it I hope to begin a long yet satisfying journey. Of course a great deal depends upon you, the reader; the fan. Please help spread the word. Order a copy of your own so that the big book sellers will take notice. Let people know that there's a new and exciting read out there that isn't just for kids or youth, but for people of all ages.
I will be heading to San Diego tomorrow to do a book signing with my son Corey. He, of course, did the cover design and all of the interior illustrations. He and I will be hosting an art show/book signing. This will be the first of many such events. I'm hoping that you'll be able to attend one of them. Be sure to bring a friend or two.
I plan on taking lots of pictures at Thursday's event. Be sure to log back on to check out how things went.
Thanks again for all of your support.

The Latest Publishing News
Hi, everyone,
I believe that the last time I got on my Facebook fan page, I announced that my book Zeke Proper and the Sacrifice at Alder Cove, would be available for order by June 11. Well, that has not come to fruition. I went back and read the email that I was sent by the publisher and discovered that that date was merely tentative...bummer. What I did receive from the publisher was a series of proofs for my marketing material. This included bookmarks, posters, postcards, and business cards. Keep in mind that this was sent via email. I now have to approve the material. There are a few minor changes that I want to make which will add more time to the delivery of the book, but I want everything to be done right. I'm sure that Zeke would approve.
Once again, thank you for your patience. If you have any left over, please send it my way. I could really use it. In the meantime, enjoy the pictures. One is of Author and Editor (Katherine Watkins). The other is the Poster. Note that I will be adding a tag line on the poster just above my name. It will read: "Hold the stones high, let their light shine, and live!"
