Event News: Woven Signing at the Idaho Falls Barnes and Noble, New Contest Next Week, and Star Wars!

Hey guys, and happy Back To The Future day! That's right, Oct 21, 2015. The fabled date when we were supposed to have lots of cool stuff. Some of it actually came true (or surpassed), and it sure would be something if the Chicago Cubs actually do win the World Series. How's THAT for a prediction?

What BTTF didn't predict was the new Star Wars movie, and how awesome the trailer looks. I'm still cautiously optimistic, but I got to say I'm getting really excited about this. The ticket pre-sales record is shattered and the variation on the original score gave me serious chills. Blogger won't let me post YouTube videos for some reason, so in case you haven't seen the new trailer yet, click here to see it!

New event: while at Comic Con, a couple employees from the Idaho Falls Barnes and Nobel approached us with exciting news. According to them, they "can't keep Woven on the shelves," and so they invited us to come for an event, and to do some school visits beforehand. If you happen to be near the Idaho Falls area, I'd love to see you. Come hear two guys talk about ghosts, princesses, and magic while getting your own signed copy of Woven. Here's the information on that:

Barnes & Noble Grand Teton Mall, Saturday Nov 7th @ 12:00 pm

Remember a couple years back when I held a contest that would make someone a zombie in my zombie novel? Now that my edits are finished and the cover is completed, I've been getting serious about the second installment. And I need more zombies. That's why next week, I will host a new contest on this blog: Zombify Me Again!

Check back next week for details. Until then, save me some jerky.

How are you spending your Back to the Future day? What do you think of the new Star Wars trailer? Want to become a zombie? 

I'm David, and "the Force is calling you. Just let it in."

    That's awesome about the Barnes and Noble.
    I think the trailer is awesome, but like you, I am still cautiously optimistic.

  2. Like you, I'm cautiously optimistic about Star Wars. I might not see it right away, but we'll see what happens. How cool about ID!

  3. Definitely loving Back to the Future Day, but man if those Cubs don't start winning soon they're sunk. Fingers crossed they hit a win streak:)

  4. That is AMAZING about Barnes and Noble not being able to keep your book on the shelves! And *whispers so I don't get attacked* I've never been a huge fan of Star Wars (or sci-fi in general) but I really do think this movie holds so much promise! I like that they're keeping the franchise alive because so many people love it!

  5. Woot! Here's hoping the event is beyond amazing and you sell many, many more books.

    We'll be watching Back to the Future parodies to celebrate.

  6. Hooray for the event! It sounds like it's going to be a great one. My day has been spent working, how else? No matter what the future brings, someone has to do the chores. :)

  7. Happy Back to the Future Day to you, too! Michael J. Fox still looks way better than future Marty did.

    Congrats on the good news about Woven flying off the shelves. I wish I was in Idaho Falls to say hi.

  8. I'm excited about the new star wars movie. Not excited enough to watch all the prior movies in a marathon - seen them all too many times. I'm sure some movie channel will have them all back to back though. Same with Back to the Future, got it memorized. I'm disappointed we don't have flying cars though.

    Good luck at the B&N :) Don't stress, just have fun.

  9. I spent BTTF day with 7th graders. Who didn't get what all the hoopla was about. Sigh.

    Congrats on the sales of your book. I bet the event will be amazing.

  10. The Barnes & Noble event should be fun. It's been a few years since I did a signing in one.

  12. Hmmm.... Didn't even know about BTTF day until my daughter mentioned it this morning. And I haven't seen the Star Wars trailer yet. I think I need to get out more.

  13. The Cubs lost their chance to even play in the World Series on BTTF day. How ironic is that?!?!? Poor Cubbies, maybe next year. Maybe Hollywood was off one year when they made BTTF. They put a 5 instead of a 6. :)

    STAR WARS LOOKS OH SO HEAVY!!!! (BTTF reference).
