The Dragon is Loose!

Today is the release day for The Dragon's Song, the middle grade refugee adventure I co-wrote with Binh Pham. If you are interested in buying a copy, these are the most popular links:

Amazon

Barnes & Noble

If you would like a personalized signed copy, you're going to have to wait. I don't have any copies of my own, yet, but I've asked about ordering some (I haven't yet received my author freebie).

PM me for more information or email me at vandalrmc@comcast.net

As always, I thank you for your continued support. You'll like The Dragon's Song. Try not to cry!

I would like to wait until I can get a personalized copy, if possible, to continue my complete set. Please let me know when one is available.

It will be an honor to sign another for one of my best customers.

The first review is in:

This reviewer seems to be very perceptive.

I'm going to our local bookstore tomorrow or Friday to buy The Hope Chest by Karen Shwabach, and while I'm there will order The Dragon's Song. I know that I can get an autographed copy from the author, but maybe they will order several copies instead of just mine. Here's hoping. :)

Under normal conditions I would have many copies of my own to sign and send to BBs al over the country. My book order has not yet arrived due to printer backlog, and it took three weeks for B&N to get books from the distribution site Ingram. When mine come in, I'll make the announcement if anyone is still interested.

This is very disappointing. The store's website says, "Normally ships in 1 to 5 days." Oh well, three weeks (assuming that's a good estimate from B&N) is better than three months.

I think you'll get it within 5 days, since you're not going through Ingram. They print in volume.

Six paperback copies arrived today, much to my surprise. If anyone would like a signed copy, DM me or email me at vandalrmc@comcast.net.

Hardcovers are here, and they are going to be $21 a hefty $26 + shipping. Paperbacks are a mere $15 + shipping.
