Kicking off the Holiday Season and Keeping it Local

0
0

Happy Holidays! (too early? yeah…it’s too early)

BUT, this year I’m doing a little something special so I’m getting the word out in advance. I’m a big proponent in buying locally, especially books, and this year I finally put my money where my mouth is and purchased 99% of my books (a lot…seriously) from independent bookstores in and around Boston (most from the excellent Papercuts J.P.).

In an effort to expand this momentum, I have a deal for you!

If you purchase SAFE INSIDE THE VIOLENCE from an independent bookstore between now and the end of the month, I’ll mail you a *free* limited edition chapbook featuring four stories that didn’t make the cut (due to length or theme, really) and killer artwork by my friend Joe DellaGatta.

Joe did the piece above a few years ago (as you can see by his signature block) for a time when I almost self-published my story “Bet It All On Black” – but I gave it one more shot and it was picked up by Thuglit. (hooray!) So now I can finally put this fantastic piece (and another for the back of the Chapbook) to use!

SO HOW DOES THIS WORK?

1) Purchase/Order a copy of SAFE INSIDE THE VIOLENCE from your local, independent shop.

2) Take a photo and toss it somewhere on social media, or send me a PM. (But really, who doesn’t like to share?)

3) I’ll hit you up for your address and sometime between now and December 24th you’ll have a chapbook in hand to read to your loved ones on Christmas morning/Annual Secular Story Time morning. (See, I got you covered)

But Chris! What if I have no local bookstores? That’s a huge bummer, but luckily Brookline Booksmith has a plethora of signed copies AND SHIPS. Boom.

But Chris! I already bought a copy from my local bookstore. Well, you’re awesome – more awesome than most. So why not buy a second copy as a gift? A book for a friend, a chapbook for you. Sounds like a winner to me.

Now go out there and support your community!

PS – I’ll be at Papercuts J.P. on 11/28 from 3-4pm for Small Business Saturday to push copies of SAFE INSIDE THE VIOLENCE, AND an awesome selection of books by some of my favorite authors. See you then!
