I’m going to depart from my usual stumping of paranormal and fantasy romances to give a shout-out to my fellow MWW alum, D.E. Johnson. His first novel, The Detroit Electric Scheme: A Mystery, just came out in September, and Dan is finishing up the last few dates of his book tour this month.
I had a chance to hear Dan speak about his journey to publication at the Midwest Writers Workshop this summer and was intrigued by the premise of his book. I haven’t read The Detroit Electric Scheme yet, but it’s definitely on my To Read list!
If you’d like the chance to meet Dan and get a signed copy of his book, here are the remaining dates of the tour:
Monday, October 18 at 7:00 PM – M is for Mystery, San Mateo, CA
- Reading, Book Sales & Signing
Thursday, October 21 at 7:00 PM – The Bookman, Grand Haven, MI
- Reading, Book Sales & Signing
Friday, October 29 – Sunday, October 31 – Magna Cum Murder, Muncie, IN
- Panel participation, Book Sales & Signing
Best wishes to Dan on his debut novel — here’s hoping there are many more mysteries to follow!
New York Times bestselling author, Sherrilyn Kenyon, will be reading from and signing copies of her novel, No Mercy, here in Indy this weekend. If you’re a fan of paras and haven’t yet read anything by Sherrilyn Kenyon, you should!
Here’s the info:
Borders – Indianapolis – Greenwood
Saturday, September 11th at 6:00 p.m.
7565 U.S. 31 S | Indianapolis, IN | 317.859.2949
Be sure to contact the store to make sure the date and time haven’t changed before you go. And you might want to plan to get there early so you aren’t crammed into a corner in the back of the store. 
And just a bit of friendly advice: I’ve been seeing lots of discussion in articles and various newsletters about book tours and how they’re starting to fade out, so take advantage of these opportunities whenever you can.
It’s always great to hear a successful writer talk about her work and her creative process. You never know when you might learn a thing or two. And, hey, if you can pick up a few new great reads while you’re there, even better!
