Behind-the-scenes book talk with a bestselling author and his unicorn. Join 6000+ readers of my 150 books as I share stories behind the stories, unbox the creative process, and lead a disobedient "artisan author" movement to treat readers like rockstars and make the book world suck less.
Last chance for signed books
|
Hey and happy Saturday! I just wanted to remind you that my signed books sale ends tomorrow. Click here to check it out.I've never offered signed books online before, but over the past week, a lot of you have been ordering signed copies of your favorites: everything from Fat Vampire to The Beam, from the "Dark Tower on LSD" epic of Unicorn Western to the first book I ever wrote, The Bialy Pimps. But at some point, I need to close the sale, order the books, sign them, and ship them back out. Hence tomorrow's "last chance" deadline. So if you'd like to get a signed copy of any of my books (or get any full series at a discount), be sure to do so by the end of the day tomorrow. Click here to get signed copies of your favorite JBT books.And BTW: The signed books aren't more expensive than unsigned ones. I'm basically upgrading everything to signed through tomorrow only. . OH, YES, AND THERE'S SOMETHING ELSE, TOO!In case you live in Austin and prefer your signed books in person, I'm actually going to be at three open-air markets this weekend and next, meeting readers and hawking dead trees with pretty covers. Come say hi! Here's the deets (you can click the links to find the addresses):
My booth looks like this, BTDubs, so you can recognize me easily if you're in the area:
So yeah -- if you're in Austin this weekend (or nearby and looking for a road trip to meet a legendary and handsome author), c'mon up and say hi. I love doing these things specifically because a writer's life is usually a lonely one ... but at these markets, I actually get to get out there and talk to the real people who make my career possible. Thanks for being a fan, however you get your books! P.S: Seriously, though: Don't forget that the signed books sale ends tomorrow. Click here to order before I shut it all down. . |

I’m doing something completely new for me in about a month … and this comes after doing about a billion OTHER new-for-me things over the past year and a half. You’d think there wouldn’t be any new things left, but it turns out they just keep coming. My current new thing is: I’m attending a Comic Con to sell my books. It’s both exciting and intimidating. I sell live all the time, but this will be my first convention … and cons have different rules — and require different setup equipment — than...
A friend and avid reader (Hi, Rachel!) asked me a curious question the other day ... one I'm not asked very often. It was: Do you [meaning me: Johnny] read other books? Or does it burn you out after writing your own books all day long? It's a fair question ... and a loaded one for me, because one of my favorite for-authors books is Stephen King's On Writing, and in that book King says that writers absolutely must read. He's pretty clear about how he feels. In his mind, people who don't read...
The other day I got an email from a reader named Greg, who asked about the kind of thing we authors never expect but absolutely love. He said: "For the very first time, I discovered I could buy your books directly from you ... Henceforth, that will be my process for your stuff." (He then went on to say how much he hates the word "henceforth." But I digress.) I was super pleased by Greg's email -- not only because he'd bought a book (which is always great) or because he'd bought it directly...
