THE BRIMSTONE MURDERS
Invades Northern California
"Get out there and sell some books. Capish?"
______________________________________
At the end of February, 2008 I headed north to the Bay Area to sell copies of THE BRIMSTONE MURDERS.
I gave a talk and raised a few bucks for the Morgan Hill Rotary Club, signed books at a couple of bookstores
 and went to two parties hosted by my brother Dennis and my sister and brother-in-law,  Sandy and David.
My other sister, Terry helped prepare the fabulous food. Thanks to everyone who made the trip a success.
Below are a few photos of the trip.
Before speaking, the Morgan Hill Rotary Club provided a great lunch.
Unbelievably, no one fell asleep
during my presentation. The
theme was THE PATH TO
PUBLICATION.

I explained a little about the
publishing industry today and
how, if you are serious about
writing a novel, you can get the
attention of an agent or a
publisher.

After the talk, the club sold my
books. The proceeds going in
their endowment fund.

Again, unbelievably, they lined up
to have the book signed.
