I launched my 2009 by signing a contract to write the chapters and captions for a soon-to-be-released title, Historic Photos of Old California. Today, I received an author questionnaire from the publisher’s Marketing Dept, getting more info for the press release and asking if I had a preference for a book launch site.
As the book covers the history of California from 1850 to 1920, I wanted one of San Diego’s many historic sites to host the book launch, and suggested one of the buildings in San Diego’s Old Town State Historic Park (possibly the haunted Whaley House), the historic sailing ship Star of India, or Balboa Park’s Museum of Man.
No word yet on where the festivities will occur . . . but if you’re in San Diego and want to attend be sure to let me know and I’ll put you on my special invite list.
Although this is the fifth book I’ve authored, it’s my first true launch party (isn’t that a crying shame!) – - so I’m jazzed to have a publisher (Turner) who rolls out the red carpet, and knows how to have a little fun!
Stay tuned . . .
Hi,
I am very happy to review this informative post. I will share this with another to provide them a very useful information.
