As you all know I have been trying hard to promote my first Children's Picture Book, 'Beware Of The Teacher' with varying degrees of success. There was the article in the local paper and the nice bit written by Randy Young of Sleepytown Press.
There have also been the rejections, as I knew there would be. Certain publications did not and probably will not return my initial emails never mind run a story on me and/or the book.
Another tact I employed was to contact the local book stores in the hopes that they would want to either carry my book or even have me in for a special event, a book signing.
Well good news friends.
My book will now be available in the 'Turn The Page' bookstore in Boonsboro MD. This bookstore and cafe, just off the square in Boonsboro is owned and operated by Mr Bruce Wilder, husband of the well known Author, Nora Roberts (aka J.D Robb).
Once I deliver the books to them I will upload pictures to my Facebook account (www.facebook.com/bobbard) for all to see.
Exciting as this news is and as appreciative as I am for the bookstore to allow me to bring in my book it was eclipsed in excitement value by the news I received a few short hours ago.
In Reisterstown, MD on the 15th September from 3-5pm I will be found signing my books at Constellation Books in what will be my first official book signing. Hopefully some of you will be able to make it and I would appreciate it if you would.
All the details for this event can be found on https://www.facebook.com/events/136742173132366/ so be sure to check it out and keep updated on the event that way. I look forward to seeing you all there.
