I'm brand new to this, so hopefully I'll be a quick learner.
To introduce myself, my name is Donald Jeffries. I've been writing most of my life, but didn't achieve the dream of being published until 2007, at the age of 50. My first novel, a sci-fi/fantasy blend called "The Unreals," has done unexpectedly well. It's now in hundreds of public and college libraries all over the world. Australia has been particularly receptive in this regard. Thanks, Mates! Barnes & Noble has been wonderful; they approved my book for stock in their stores, and it's now in about half of them nationwide. I've also had several successful book signings at local northern Virginia Barnes & Noble stores. My next book signing will be at the Fairfax, Va. Barnes & Noble, on Saturday, April 25, from 12-4 PM. I'll be providing updates about that signing in the future. As for Borders- arghhh. But you can get "The Unreals" from them online, as well as through Amazon and countless other internet sources.
In addition to updates on my present and future book projects, I'll probably use this blog to rant about various political and social topics, as is my wont. If you've read "The Unreals," you may find them somewhat familiar. Hopefully they'll at least be entertaining.
If you have any thoughts or questions about "The Unreals," please don't hesitate to contact me at donjeffries@mris.com. I always love to hear from you.
FIrst! Just call me a trailblazer. Don, good luck with the blog and look forward to reading your rants and all things Jeffries. How is the new book going? Sorry I haven't had time to read more, but will try to get on it this weekend. Keep writing and don't forget to ping the wafflers about the blog. This is something the wafflers need as well. Later, my fellow "unreal"
