April 16th is The Day of the Mushroom–is there a better day for my book to officially launch?

Olly & the Spores of Sapphire Creek (book 2 of the trilogy) officially launches today. After two years of writing, revising, editing, and illustrating, I feel like I am a new Dad welcoming another child into the world. The book is available on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and at many other fine retailers.

I will be doing a book signing at Black Cat Books & Oddities in Medina, Ohio, this Saturday, April 20th from 1-3 pm. I will be signing limited edition books, and giving away some cool mushroom-themed items:
- Special bookmarks with each book purchase (mushroom bookmark for book 1 and leaf sprig bookmarks for book 2)
- Mushroom stickers and bookmarks with each book purchase
- Giveaway: enter to win a serialized limited-edition copy of both book 1 and book 2
- Giveaway: enter to win a stamped, signed, limited edition illustrated mushroom scene from the latest book
- Giveaway: enter to win one of three mushroom handbags, a Mushroom Mini Grow Kit, stick pencils, and mushroom garden stakes

I will also be at the Read Local: Author Fair in Medina on Saturday, April 27th, from 1 – 4 pm. It’s a place where you can meet local authors and find your next great read! Authors will be available to sign copies of their books, discuss their work, and answer questions. Enter for a chance to win a raffle basket!
