Geek Tour 2K4 Stop Number 3: Mysterious Galaxy

  • Uncategorized

Stop number three on Geek Tour 2K4 is coming up tomorrow, at Mysterious Galaxy in San Diego. I’ll be reading from and signing copies of Just A Geek and Dancing Barefoot starting at 1:30 PM.
Maryelizabeth from MG brought me to ComicCon when I was doing Dancing Barefoot with Monolith Press last year, and helped me understand a lot of the realities of the publishing world. Her support and encouragement is a huge part of this chapter in my life, and I’m really looking forward to the reading. I sort of feel like I’ve made it into AA ball, and I’m going back to the field where I finally learned to make my curve break. It’s going to be awesome!

    Independent book stores have a lot to compete with since most large chains (ie.. Amazon, Borders, BN) get large discounts from publishers because they can order thousands of a single book. Most independents have signings and author appearances as a service to customers, but also to bring customers in. When you buy a book from a small store like MG, you are supporting a company that 1. is as interested in books and authors as you are, and 2. is competeing with a very large national chain. For small businesses to survive, people need to buy items there. I don’t fault MG for asking you to purchase a book there to get it signed, if nobody bought the book from them, they couldn’t carry it AND couldn’t have authors like Wil come down and spend time talking to fans. Remember what Wil said about MG supporting him on Barefoot – I bet none of the big chains wanted him to do a signing for them then.
    That said, I was there on Saturday and thought Wil was great!

    I posted to my blog 3 weeks ago about the San Diego book signing after briefly talking with you about it in Las Vegas.

    Ironically I was out of town (San Diego) during this appearance, however it was fun reading some of the well written comments made by those who were there.

    It’s great to see things went so well for you at Borders, Will. I can’t wait to buy your book! Also, I wanted to shout out for River Phoenix’s birthday. He would have been 34 years old today. He is truly missed.
