My First Book Launch

Reputation is my thirteenth published novel, and I am having my first book launch on August 31 at 2 pm at Middle Ground Books in Emporia, Kansas.

So how did I launch the first twelve novels?

Previous new book announcement process:

• Research and write book.
• Publish book.
• Order copies.
• Receive copies.
• Put copies in car.
• Tell friends, “Hey, I have a new book!”
• Friends say, “I’d like a copy,” and pay me.
• I sign the book, toss it to them, and the launch is complete.

With the help of friends

While I have attended several book launches in the past, I’m still not sure what I should do at mine. Fortunately, my Emporia Writers friends, Tracy Million Simmons, Deb Irsik, and Lindsey Bartlett, have volunteered to help. With their experience in launching, I am less anxious and looking forward to my first book launch ever.

What is Reputation about anyway?

Reputation is everything to a woman and her team of detectives in 1861 St. Louis.

From the top floor of the Gates Hotel to the caves beneath it, the search for a murderer takes Hannah True and her team into situations that compromise their reputations as women and as novice detectives. Meeting a man alone might be enough to ruin her reputation, meeting him in a saloon would definitely destroy it.

Reputation is the fourth book in the Hannah True series. If you happen to be in Emporia, Kansas, on August 31, I’d love to have you celebrate its publication with me. If you prefer eBooks, visit my Reputation book page on Amazon or visit my Amazon Author page to view the first twelve.
