Will you help my new book DIVA DELORES AND THE OPERA HOUSE MOUSE make a BIG SPLASH when it releases in early March by pre-ordering your copy today? I didn’t realize with my first two books just how important pre-orders can be in capturing the attention of readers, booksellers, reviewers and more. Here’s a link all about it. Basically, though, pre-orders are important because those sales get included in the sales numbers for the first week of the book’s release. High numbers can influence how many runs a book has, whether it makes a best-selling list and more. All good and fun stuff!
So, if you are thinking of purchasing a copy of my newest book, DIVA DELORES AND THE OPERA HOUSE MOUSE, I would be delighted if you would consider pre-ordering it from your favorite book store. Or…. if you want a SIGNED copy, my favorite indie has a special deal for you!
If you PRE-ORDER my new book from The Town Book Store, in Westfield, NJ, any time between NOW and MARCH 6, 2018 (the book’s release day), owner Anne Laird is offering a 10% discount off the retail price. Simply mention that you want the “DIVA DELORES DISCOUNT”.
If this interests you, please call the store to order DIVA DELORES AND THE OPERA HOUSE MOUSE. Be sure to explain that you would like to have the book signed by the author and pass along the names you’d like included. They will take the order and do the transaction. I will then come in and sign the book or books. Depending on where you live, you can either pick them up in-store at no extra charge, or have them mailed. There will be a shipping fee to cover the cost of mailing, but they can give you those details.
I thought this was a nice way to make signed copies available, support a wonderful independent book store, and encourage pre-orders!
You can reach The Town Book Store at (908) 233-3535. You can also email the owner, Anne, at anne@townbookstore.com. Either way, remember to ask for the “DIVA DELORES DISCOUNT”.
Thank you, The Town Book Store, for making this possible and thank you, readers, for supporting my books!

Laura great idea. I also think it’s important for people to pre-order the book near where they live or online. Maybe you can then send signed book plates. Just a thought. Rosanne
Thanks, Rosanne. Yes, that’s also good.
I’d love a signed copy. How do I get one all the way on the other side of the continent?
Maybe I’ll see you in May! =)
Looking forward to reading it, Laura! 🙂
Thanks, Sara!
