Pictures from Sunday’s Signing
by kriswrit on Nov.30, 2009, under Current News
We had a great time at Powell’s signing on Sunday, November 29. Sold lots of copies of Diving into the Wreck and signed enough stock so that anyone who wants a signed copy can order one from Powell’s. Click the link on the bookstore page of this website.
Pyr editor and writer, Lou Anders, who was at the signing, took these pictures of me and Mike Moscoe Shepard just before the signing began. The one thing these photos don’t show is the chaos that arises when fans, writers, and books all congregate in the same place.


Thanks to everyone who came!

Prometheus Books, which owns the imprint Pyr, which published Diving into the Wreck is having a holiday sale. 20% off on all orders, plus free shipping. You can find that information here.
And their gift guide, which you can find here, says this about Diving into the Wreck:
Critics are raving about this “page-turning space adventure” (Publisher’s Weekly) that’s “like something out of Golden Age sci-fi” (Mad Hatter’s Bookshelf) with a “no-nonsense, eventful, occasionally mysterious narrative that contains all the best dialogue of a Star Trek: The Next Generation episode, the adventure of an Indiana Jones movie, and the philosophical and scientific chops of Isaac Asimov himself…highly recommended for anyone who enjoys space adventure stories, superb characterization, and tight plotting.” (Grasping for the Wind)
They have lots of great sf/f books on their list, so check it all out.Book poll
