'Small Town News' available at Changing Hands


As of this afternoon, "Small Town News" is available at the Changing Hands Book Shoppe, 528 S. Virginia Avenue, Joplin (for those of you unfamiliar with Joplin, Virginia is one block east of Main).
I am particularly pleased that Changing Hands is the first retail outlet for the book since the owners are John and Susie Davidson, and John is a graduate of my alma mater East Newton High School
The store is open from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Saturday. The phone number is 417-623-6699.

The book signing at the Neosho-Newton County Library went well last night. Thanks to librarian Shirley Gollhoffer for her hospitality and thanks to everyone who came. After the signing, Ms. Gollhoffer was kind enough to take the accompanying photo of some of my former Diamond Middle School students who showed up at the event. From left, Ashley Nickolaisen, unidentified author, Stacia Martens, Jessica Harrison, and Michelle Nickolaisen. Stacia, Jessica, and Michelle are juniors at Diamond High School, while Ashley is a freshman.

As I have mentioned earlier in the blog, I will meet with the book manager at another local store tomorrow afternoon and hopefully will have word soon about another retail outlet and a Joplin signing.

Maybe network with the Ozarks Reader? They would have affordable ad space, likely would have many of the same readers, plus lots of newstand contacts: http://www.joplinglobe.com/story.php?story_id=170381&c=87

I finished the book Mr. T! Good job, I liked the ending. It was a little slow at first(no offense or anything), but wrapped up great. And everyone's asking when the Hastings signing will be - so make sure to email or post so that we can make posters to give to people.
