Murder By the Book
If you’re in the Houston area or just like to travel here on a whim, I’ll be signing A Coventry Christmas at Murder By the Book, 2342 Bissonnet Street, Houston. Their phone is 713.524.8597 or 888.4-AGATHA.
The signing is Saturday, December 2, 2006, at 4:30 p.m.
I’ll be signing with two other local authors, L.A. Starks, whose debut thriller 13 Days: The Pythagoras Conspiracy is set in Houston; and Colleen Thompson, who writes romantic suspense novels, including a November release, Heat Lightning.
Although I don’t write the mysteries, suspense, and thrillers that have made Murder By the Book one of the country’s most loved independent booksellers, they are graciously hosting my signing because I’m a local author. If you’ve never been to the store, it’s a must (and it does get an honorable mention in A Coventry Christmas because I played a little with their name for my fictitious chain bookstore “Buy The Book”). Their signings are always fun, and I’ve met some of my favorite authors there. Books are the one item I really love shopping for, and Murder By the Book’s shelves always provide abundant ways for me to spend money. But they even have some pre-read books at bargain prices!
And definitely be there on December 2, or I’ll cry. You don’t want to make me cry, do you?
Okay, you always have to pick signing dates when we have something else going on… stop that! One of our “family receptions” for after our wedding is on December 2nd. BUT!! It’s a brunch, so we should be done in time to make it to the signing… all dressed up in brunchy-wedding celebration clothes. 😉
You know I will do EVERYTHING in my power to be there.
The two of you are social monsters; you ALWAYS have something to do! It was the store that picked the date, I promise. And you know I love it when you arrive in brunchy-wedding celebration clothes, swimming suits from the hot tub, or those fabulous TJB T-shirts of yours. =)
Oh, we are SO making that signing. Seriously.
I bought your book today 🙂
Thank you! You sure you don’t want to jump on Beastie and come for the signing? 😉
I’d love to, but my husband would Strongly Object. 😉 (And his bike wouldn’t make it that far without more work than he’s got time for, right now.)
But if you ever come to California…everywhere in California is within range. 🙂
Hmmm….this just might be the right time to take advantage of that open invitation that I have from that Galleria hotel…
WOO HOO!!!!! I need about 10 copies, all autographed to various people. Christmas gifts, you know.
I LOVE THIS BOOK. I will be there and I will tell everyone I know – altho I’m buying them all a book… Oh well, they still need to be there.
I will be there in spirit; all the very best with the signing.
