If you’re thinking of getting copies of my books, it couldn’t be easier. I’ve got you covered, even for autographed books!
Getting My Books for the 2023 Holidays
Getting My Books for the 2021 Holidays
If you’re interested in getting some of my books for the holidays, you ought to act quickly. We’re getting closer to the last-order date at my local bookstore. I’ve resisted pushing people to order early because I really hate rushing the season, but I’ve spent the last couple of weeks in the company of booksellers, and I understand better what they’re up against.
If you prefer ebooks, you’re all set. The complete list of my book is here, on a single page. All my books are readily available at the usual online stores in e-book format. Just click the cover of the book you want, and choose your preferred store. The only exception is my children’s book on Fibonacci. That book is still only pubbed in print only.
A complete list of my wife’s books are here. The new Thanksgiving book is right at the top of the page.
Physical copies of our books—especially the new ones—are available via Amazon, B&N, and your local bookstore. If a store doesn’t have them, they can order them.
If you want books autographed by either of us, the best way to do that is to contact the indie bookstore in my town, Malaprop’s, and order personalized, autographed copies of whatever tickles your fancy. Signed books make great gifts.
Here’s the skinny on signed books:
Call Malaprop’s directly at 1-800-441-9829 or 828-254-6734. Just tell them…
Which book you want to order and the author’s name.
Within certain limits, due to the ongoing supply-chain situation, we are striving still to do personalizations in books. The bookseller will know which books can be inscribed. So, let them know how you want the book personalized. To you? To the mother-in-law you’re always trying to suck up to? Your frenemy? Do you want it to say “Merry Christmas,” “Happy Holidays,” “Happy Thanksgiving,” “For a mystery buff,” or nothing at all?
Give them your payment information and shipping address.
Make sure you get your order in by December 6th for delivery by Christmas.
That’s it! Malaprop’s will have me or Denise sign, and they will ship your book out to you or to the person of your choice, autographed and ready to go.
But what about gift wrapping?
Yes indeed, they gift wrap–for FREE. I told you they were wonderful. So, you can have that autographed book gift-wrapped AND have a gift card slapped on it. That package of holiday reading cheer will be shipped wherever you want and will arrive ready to be slid under a tree, slipped into a (larger than usual) stocking, placed next to the menorah, or shipped to a loved one you hope to see in the very near future..
Can I order online?
Technically, yes, but calling is much more efficient, less ambiguous, and, in the long run, will take less of your time.
Which books of yours can I order?
All of them, really. My complete list is here, on a single page. (The Fibonacci book is here.)
Allow me to single out for your reading pleasure my two newest novels! They are:
Sorceress Kringle: The Woman Who Became Santa Claus
A gender-bending fantasy novel about Santa—the way you never imagined her.
Meet the Book Lady. She sells books, eats well, and has a very large brain. Criminals fear her.
Happy shopping, and thanks for supporting a local independent author and bookstore!

Getting My Books for the 2020 Holidays
It seems that I’m an author who is in the holiday business. Three of my bestselling books focus (arguably) on the Fourth of July. I’ve got a major novel devoted to Christmas. And, if you want to count my wife, Denise Kiernan, she’s a hugely successful author whose latest title is devoted to the little-known history behind the Thanksgiving holiday. People always ask us how they can get our books, so I’m putting all the details you need into this post. I apologize for the early date, but 2020 is apt to be little challenging gift-wise.
The quick and dirty answer is, two ways. If you prefer ebooks, you’re all set. The complete list of my book is here, on a single page. All my books are readily available at the usual online stores in e-book format. Just click the cover of the book you want, and choose your preferred store. The only exception is my children’s book on Fibonacci. That book is still only pubbed in print only.

Pre-order Now: Murder on Book Row
Pre-order available now for December 1, 2019 release.
Murder on Book Row, my new murder mystery, is up for pre-order wherever fine e-books are sold.
She sells books, eats well, and has a very large brain. Criminals fear her.
Meet Beatrice Valentine, a larger-than-life bookshop owner with a penchant for three things in abundance—delicious Italian food, wine, and murder. For decades she has sold used and rare books from her stylish-but-cluttered domain on New York City’s legendary Book Row.
“Murder on Book Row” is the first in a delightful series of light-hearted whodunnits set in the world of rare books and abundant snacks.
Written by a winner of the Derringer Award for Short Mystery Fiction.
If you like charming puzzle mysteries, witty banter, and fiendishly clever solutions, you’ll love getting to know the Book Lady.
I hope you’ll choose to pre-order, since the more pre-orders a book gets, the more the bookstores notice and start promoting it on their end.
The best reason to order now? The pre-order price is a mere 99 cents. (Most online stores do not charge you until the day the book is released, and the book is delivered to your e-reader.) The day the book goes live, December 1, the price will rise to $4.99.
All the pre-order links are here.
At that link, you’ll be able to choose your preferred online store.
Please take advantage of the pre-sale price. Yes, go ahead and share this information with any mystery-loving friends you may have. Thanks for supporting a writer.
If you prefer to read on paper, stay tuned. I’ll let you know soon when the paperback comes out. If you’re interested, you’ll even be able to order autographed copies from my local bookstore.
Until then, happy reading!
