Aside from the annual HisWay event, this is my favorite Signing Haunt each year. It's my local B&N, and the CSM, Amber, really knows how to throw a party. Last year it was standing room only for the readings and swashbuckling. And I personally signed over 300 books. It was absolutely nuts that night--but way fun.
Look for more of the same this Friday. If any of you bloggers or treasure hunters are in the Maryland area, drop by! I'd love to meet you and sign your books!
Announcement #2: Actually, this is a teaser announcement. But something rather unexpected has happened. I had some plans, but God had other plans. And you know what? I like the new plans A LOT. There are still some things that must be finalized before I can be more specific, but for now, just know that this will be a first for me and a very special announcement. (Oh, and no, it's not a movie deal, sigh)
Quest #2 has been completed by me!

Yep, B D Eastman. You and butterfli_1 looked so comfy up there at first and second that I decided I had to come join you. And then I find that I have such a commanding lead over you! A whole, whopping ten points! Well, at least for the moment. We shall see how long such glory lasts. May the most stubborn one win! To the King! :-)

Here is my post for you and is just one of a million i do everyday.
Whoops that was worth 100points!!
ReplyDeleteYes Rien I know it's going to be fun!!
Oooh and I wanted to go to B&N this week. Well, now the question becomes should I go on Friday ;) or avoid the place like it's flying black flags because of the crowds?
ReplyDeleteHmmm decisions decisions.
I have a question: Will a review for Isle of Fire that is not on Amazon count for 200 points, or does it only count for 50 points like normal?
ReplyDeleteRe: Announcement #2:
ReplyDeleteAren't His plans ALWAYS better than our own plans? It's the unexpected that people tend to not like very much.
I'm excited to hear what your new plans are, don't keep us waiting too long!
Blessings to you!
What is this new announcement?! Oh, Mr. Batson, you are the master of suspense!!!
ReplyDeleteBtw, I LOVE THE ISLE OF FIRE!! lol
Still love St.Pierre!
With this comment, I have now posted on all eight blogs. Didn't know Jonathan Rogers even had a blog...
ReplyDeleteWish it was a movie deal...that;d be awwesome.
ReplyDeleteGood luck.

ReplyDeleteHello Mr. Batson,
ReplyDeleteThis is James Myers. If you remember you allowed me to send you a poem that i had written for school last year. I have your blog bookmarked under my favorites in my folder in IE. I saw the newest entry and hope I can come to get Isle of Fire signed. I bought it and I love it so far. This year I am attending Mount Saint Joseph in the ninth grade. So far I love it. I am looking forward to getting Isle of Fire signed (I have all of your other books signed so I've been keeping my eye out for a while now).
If you would like to contact me for any reason or if you would like to talk my email is jamez2727@yahoo.com.
Sincerely,
James Myers
hello Mr.Batson Before i read your books i hated to read. Your books were so good i started liking to read fantasy. i wanted to tell you i cried when i finished the trilogy and i felt like i was there through out the whole trilogy. I would cry when ever one of the characters would die. I also think it had a very good ending.
ReplyDelete~One big fantasy fan!
I just finished Isle of Swords. It is great!!!!! I absulutely love it!! I love adventure stories. So this was right up my alley.
ReplyDeleteHey, Mr. Batson,
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the release of Isle of Fire!!! My mom is insisting on buying at LEAST five copies of the book, and at this point I am soooo excited that I agree with her!
I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for giving me my first ever publication. It means so much to me!
May God bless you even more than you have blessed me.
Write On!!!
Never Alone,
Shelby Marie
what is it a graphic novel version of your books?
ReplyDeleteYayy! I was there (at the book signing), it was so much fun, even if Mr.Batson forgot technology....oh well lol
ReplyDeleteDoes anyone know how old Cat is?
