Bricks and Mortar
Hey folks,
Just wanted to talk about bookstores, the real ones you can walk into and browse without a monitor or a mouse (we hope). I've loved going to my local bookstores since as long as I can remember. I like to walk through the aisles and see all the cover art, pick up the books and read the back cover. To me, that is book buying.
I understand we live in a new age where it's easier to shop online, and I don't begrudge anyone that convenience. But if you're a reader--a true lover of books--you need to consider what life would be like if our physical bookstores closed down. Sure, you could still find the works of your favorite big-name authors online, but what about the new voices just emerging? Can you trust web browsers to pick out the next GRR Martin, Joe Abercrombie, or Stephen King?
And for authors, book stores represent a great way to connect with our readers. It's a little difficult to do a book signing online.
Just something to think about the next time you're looking for a book.
My new book, Shadow's Lure, can be found at Barnes & Noble, Borders, Aaron's Books (Lititz, PA), Between Books (Claymont, DE), and other fine bookstores.

Hey folks,
I will appearing at the Camp Hill Barnes and Noble on June 16th at 6 pm.
If you find yourself in the area, swing by to keep me company. There may be a surprise (hint: it might be cake!).
