LAST CALL!

 

There's only two events left on my 2025 Let Me tell You A Story Tour. November 29th and December 13th. Whew. It was a busy year. I was part of 37 in person events (so far). It would have been 41, but illness had me cancel 3 & lack of funds another. I'll close out 2025 with 39 in person events. A busy year.

I'm prepping a few ideas for my 2026 tour. Naming them is tough. Calling it the "Bobby's Too Tired To Travel Tour" or "Help Bobby Buy More Books Tour" doesn't have the same kind of kick. Any ideas?

ON THE ROAD AGAIN! TWO LIBRARY EVENTS!

 

Hi, there. I hope you're having a great weekend.

I had two events this week, one Friday and one Saturday.

On Friday, I was scheduled to present a free "How To Create Comic Books" presentation at the Watkinsville-Oconee Public Library in Watkinsville, Georgia. I've done events here before, but this was my first solo event there. Sadly, no one showed up for it so it didn't happen. Bummer, but it happens. It gave me a chance to chat with the librarian and catch up.

A funny aside. As I was packing up to leave, two college students approached me, asking if I was an author. One of them told me I looked like an author. I'm still not sure how to take that. :) They had a class assignment to learn about writing children's books, do's and don'ts, rules, etc. They came in and asked the lady at the information desk where they could find said information. She pointed them my way. So, if nothing else, I helped those guys with their assignment, which was pretty cool and unexpected. They took a photo with me and took a business card as proof of meeting me for their professor.

Since I was out early, I called some friends who live close by and had dinner with them so it was still a good day.

On Saturday, I traveled to Mabelton, Georgia to visit South Cobb Regional Library's Indie Author Book Fair. My first time at this particular library. It was a good time. I knew a few of the other authors there and met some new people as well. It was a bit slow, but they had maybe twenty people come through during the time we were there. I sold three books and a piece of art. Not a bad start for their first author event.

I love doing events and plan to keep doing them, but one of my goals for 2026 is to do fewer, but make sure I do the ones that work best for me. Of course, I say this every year. Hopefully, I can make it stick this time. I can already hear laughter in the distance. :)

While there, I heard an author say on a panel that she self-published because traditional publishing was too expensive. This has been rattling in my brain since I heard it. I'm sharing it here as I know there are writers who read these.

Just a reminder. If a publisher asks for money to publish your book, they are not a traditional publisher. If you have to pay to publish, that's a vanity or hybrid press. I'm not here to argue the merits of those options. If they're for you and you understand what you're getting into, that's your business. Just don't call it traditional publishing because it's not.

The only time I send money to my traditional publishers is if I want to buy discounted author copies for cons and events.

End of sermon.

I only have two more events this year. November 29th, I'm doing a bookstore signing for Small Business Saturday and December 13th, another library author fair. Should be fun.

I hope you have a great week.

And So It Begins...

 

It's time to start planning my writing and publishing goals for 2026. This large dry erase board has been in storage since I moved in 2011. Dug it out and cleaned it off. A nice trip down memory lane. The last few years, my career has basically been me flying by the seat of my pants. That's not a sustainable career trajectory so it's time to look at what worked and what didn't this year, and year's past, learn from it, and make a plan for the new year. I've already got a few ideas to workshop. Wish me luck.

And so it begins...
(I swear I hear Ambassador Kosh from Babylon 5 every time I type that line)

A BUSY WEEKEND FOR THE LET ME TELL YOU A STORY TOUR...

 

Books. Reader. Writers. Friends. I had a great weekend on the road at a couple of book events with friends both old (perhaps I should say classic) and new.

On Saturday, I was part of Gwinnett Co. Historic Courthouse's first Literary Arts Festival in Lawrenceville, GA. An outdoor venue. Not a huge sales day, but fun.

On Sunday, I was thrilled to return to Oconee County Library's Oconee Book Festival in Watkinsville, GA. Always a fun day. I sold, and purchased, some books, caught up with pals, and did a panel.

The Let Me Tell You A Story tour continues this Saturday at Inklings Writers Fall Collective at The Mill on Etowah in Canton, GA (1pm - 4pm). Learn more HERE.

There is no fee for this educational event! It is open to the public so bring your friends! The Collective will start off with 4-5 speakers with a question and answer session. Afterward, there will be plenty of time to mix and mingle, have some snacks, shit-chat, and get to know each other. Come listen to some wonderful speakers, meet other writers/artists and see what everyone has been up to!

Bobby's presentation is Promo isn't a four-letter word. Learn how to get the word out about your work on a budget. How do you do all those events? I get asked this often. We'll look at ways to find events to showcase your work, what you should bring with you, expectations, and the like.

I hope you'll join us.

THE WRAP UP-- DAHLONEGA LITERARY FESTIVAL'S NORTH GEORGIA REGIONAL BOOK FAIR!

 

I had a fun time at the Dahlonega Literary Festival's North Georgia Regional Book Fair at University of North Georgia Dahlonega Campus on Saturday, September 13th. The college put on a great show with a nice lineup, wonderful location, and good panels. The faculty and students were wonderful and very helpful. Unfortunately, attendance was very low. It happens. It was a bit slow and sales were light. I sold some art, but no books. Still, aside from slicing open my elbow on one of my book racks (ouch), I had a great day.

Here are some photos from the event.

THE WRAP UP-- SOUTHEAST FANDOM FEST!

 

I had an absolutely amazing time yesterday at Southeast Fandom Fair in Tifton, GA. The Zone Collectibles & More hosted the event. Big thanks to Kevin Clady and his team for putting on a great event and for the awesome gift bag of goodies. Oh, and feeding us. Truly, the way to a creator's heart. I had bourbon chicken and rice for lunch. Delicious.

The event printed up copies of my serialized story, Lance Star and the Ghost Squadron, which I wrote for their monthly newsletter to give away for free to attendees. I still have a few left and will continue sharing them at cons.

We had to get a photo of Bobapalooza with me, Bob McGough, and Robert Jeffrey. Or, as Bob called it, Pokemon Evolution. Photo taken by honorary Bob, author Megan Kuykendall. It was also great meeting author Darius Knight. A great guest line up. You should have been there. We had fun.
