It's all about self-promotion

Now, officially, my book has a release date of October 20th, 2009. But, when Watermark Books - my local independent bookstore (and former employer) and my publisher got to talking about having an event for me, I simply asked if we could have the event on my birthday. They all agreed.

It's not very often that an author can have the release party for his very first book on his birthday. So, anyway, that's why Watermark has copies of the book on hand right now.

You can pick it up before the event, read it, and ask me tough questions. Or, if you can't be there for the event and want a signed first edition from the JQM "Birthbook" event just give Watermark Books a call (see their webpage here) and reserve a copy that will be held for the event and signed by me. You can then pick it up in person when you are free, or have it shipped to you (shipping fee is $6.75).

So, head on down to Watermark Books and pick up a copy, and be sure to come back on October 8th for the reading and signing.

A whole stack on display.

Yeah, that's my mom, dropping by Watermark to buy the book.
