Signings

Saturday, June 5, 2010:
Anderson County Library will host a book signing for Beyond the Loop from 2-4 PM. This is located in Anderson, South Carolina. Refreshments will be served and copies of Beyond the Loop, The Civilization Loop and Recreant will be up for sale.
Review of Signing
The signing went fairly well. All told 5 copies of the book were sold. This was an invitation only signing, and many had graduations and such to attend that day. But still good fun and nice treats! Thanks to the Library for allowing me to have the signing there.
Wednesday, June 16, 2010:
AnMed Health Medical Center Gift Shop will host a book signing for Beyond the Loop from 11 AM-1 PM. This is located in Anderson, South Carolina. Just in time for Father's Day!
Review of Signing
The signing went very well! All told 25 copies of Beyond the Loop and The Civilization Loop were sold! Lots of fun with friends and family at the hospital during the event. Thanks to Carolyn for allowing me to have the signing there.
Other signings are in the works, as listed below:
Clemson University Bookstore will be hosting a local author event sometime around the beginning of the 2010 Football Season for the Clemson Tigers, in August and September. Local authors, including yours truly, will be invited. Further details to come.
Barnes and Noble on Haywood Road in Greenville, South Carolina has expressed interest in possibly doing another book signing for Beyond the Loop. Further details to follow on this possibility.

Melissa's Bookshelf Review of Beyond the Loop
Gossip Section
If you venture off to Amazon.com, BarnesandNoble.com, or any other online bookstore except Publish America's, you might notice one thing....Beyond the Loop is nowhere in sight! The reason? Publish America has currently switched wholesale providers for their books, from Ingram to Baker and Taylor exclusively. This change has taken months to apply due to the large volume of books the publisher boasts (over 40,000 total). So, for now, Beyond the Loop will not be available on most online stores until the process has been completed. However, the Publish America online bookstore has tons of the book available and is constantly offering discounts for those who are interested.
Beyond the Loop has been setup for iPad formatting. That means if you own an iPad, you can purchase the electronic copy of Beyond the Loop or The Civilization Loop and read it on your new iPad. You can purchase a copy of the iPad version from the Publish America book store online.
