Will you help my new book LITTLE EWE make a BIG SPLASH when it releases next month 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. As I have now learned, 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 copies of my newest book, LITTLE EWE, I would be delighted if you would consider pre-ordering it from your favorite book store. Or…. if you want SIGNED copies, 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 February 23rd (the book’s release day), owner Anne Laird is offering a 10% discount off the retail price. Simply mention that you want the “LITTLE EWE DISCOUNT”.
If this interests you, please call the store to order LITTLE EWE. 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 “LITTLE EWE DISCOUNT”.
Thank you, The Town Book Store, for making this possible and thank you, readers, for supporting my books!
NOTE: If you are long-distance and choose to order from the vendor of your choice, I’m also happy to make arrangements for a signed book plate to be sent to you. Just let me know.
In her memoir A CIRCLE OF QUIET, Madeleine L’Engle writes, “Those of us who write are responsible for the effect of our books… Like it or not, we either add to the darkness… or we light a candle to see by.” As a writer for children, I take those words to heart and now, today, with the release of my newest picture book, LOVE IS KIND, I hope Little Owl’s story will do just that.
