Hey fellow conspirators,

As some of you may know, I'm releasing my 2nd horror novel, FLU, through Snowbooks at the end of April.

The book will be on sale in the UK throughout Waterstone's and Forbidden Planet stores, as well as Amazon and other online stores.

To spread FLU further, I was hoping you could, simply, list/ PM me the contact details of indie book stores in your area. I can then mail the store manager a signed copy of the book in the hope they may decide to stock FLU.

Big thanks to Ziggy who inspired this idea by talking to his local indie store (who have now agreed to stock the book)!  

Thanks, everyone!   

:)wAyne

There's a very big independent bookstore by me called Chester County Book Company.

http://www.ccbmc.com/

Good luck

Stevo, you're a gentleman and a scholar. I'll throw your name into the facebook raffle for a free copy of the book, on release. And, boy... does that store look big! :)

Any other help from LC-ers gratefully received (and your name will be entered into the draw for a signed copy of the book)!

Thanks very much.  I'd enjoy reading it.  And yes, the store is huge.  Comparable to the Barnes & Nobles we have around here.  Better selection of books, IMO.  Good luck.

In Kansas City, try Rainy Day books. http://www.rainydaybooks.com/  (It's a small store, but somewhat of a local landmark).

In Denver I'd suggest The Tattered Cover. http://www.tatteredcover.com/  (The largest independent bookstore I know of).

For Jackson, MS, there's Lemuria. http://www.lemuriabooks.com/index.php  (They gave John Grisham a lot of support early on in his career, and it seemed to work out well for him.  They specialize in autographed books, so get your pen ready).

 

Best of luck to you...

Yo Wayne:

Here's an awesome book store in Concord, New Hampshire which will probably dig your book:

http://www.libertybooksnh.net/

I'll e-mail you one that  is here in Salt Lake City, which is a small independent book store.  You should go on tour!

DUDE!

check out the bookstore list that has a nation wide bookshop list for Ozstralia.

:=)

Hope the sounds of cha-ching ring out mate! When you catalogue a world-wide list pm me the list so when my non-fiction book freedom factory is ready to go out in the next few months will have pre-prepared listings to get the word out :)

cheers,

mothyspace

Guys, you've all been super-duper helpful! I really appreciate it!

Mothy, I'll be sure to put together my list and e-mail you a copy - it may be more genre store heavy than your own work may require, but I'm sure there'll be crossover.

Cheers and thanks again, everyone! All names will be going into the facebook draw! :)
