Postcards from the Garage: Lincoln City Book Signing

Scott — Fri, 21 May 2010 17:58:48 +0000

I had two book signings in the past month, but unfortunately I was so focused on, you know, the signing, that I failed to get any pictures. But here’s one that writer J. Steven York took Saturday, May 15 when I signed books at North by Northwest Books in Lincoln City, Oregon. I was joined by Kris Rusch and Chris York, both good friends and great writers:

I’m the one in the middle, just in case you were wondering.

Postcards from the Garage: Water Balloon Boys Author Copies

Scott — Thu, 22 Apr 2010 14:49:20 +0000

I now have in my hands the author copies of my first book, The Last Great Getaway of the Water Balloon Boys. I can’t tell you what a great feeling this is. What a beautiful hardback book. As a former owner of a used bookstore, and one who’s sold a number of antiquarian books, I gotta tell you it’s a real pleasure to open this one up and see the words “First Edition” there on the copyright page. I would have been fine with my first book being a paperback original, but it gives me an extra thrill for it to be a hardcover.

And if you’ve pre-ordered it, you too can hold it your hands . . . in about five days.

Postcards from the Garage: Dinosaur Diaries Author Copies

Scott — Thu, 01 Apr 2010 17:09:57 +0000

The author copies for my other collection, The Dinosaur Diaries and Other Tales Across Space and Time, arrived in the mail the other day. Very happy to hold this one in my hands — eighteen of my best stories which originally appeared in magazines like Ellery Queen, Asimov’s, Analog, and Realms of Fantasy.

I also saw that Amazon just discounted the price $5. If you haven’t ordered yours, you should do so today!
