Game Widow Book Release Event!

This Saturday, September 6th, Barnes & Noble in Woodinville, Washington is hosting the Game Widow Book Release Party at 7:00 p.m.! For anyone local to the Seattle area who would like to attend, this event is cool on two different levels:

First, it's a chance to hear a short exerpt of the book, and flip through it yourself to see why it's endorsed not only by Erin Hoffman (aka ea_spouse), Dr. Kimberly S. Young, and Dr. Walsh of the Institute on Media and Family, but also by Nick Yee and Jason Della Rocca, the Executive Director of the International Game Developers Association. And discuss the whole game widow phenomenon from your particular perspective with me, the author!

Second, Barnes & Noble isn't just hosting my book launch, but an entire day of local authors, including Ann Rule, who will be signing their books...for charity. A percentage of all the Local Authors Gala featured books sales will benefit Hopelink Literacy Programs. So you get to gratify your curiosity and do a good thing, all in one visit to the bookstore.

For those who can't make it to this particular event, but live in the Seattle area, there will be a second chance! On October 25th, I'll be at Third Place Books in Lake Forest Park, Washington. The address information for both the Woodinville Barnes & Noble and the Lake Forest Park Third Place Books events are at the bottom of this post...but first, I'm going to give you a list of all the scheduled authors for the Local Authors Gala this Saturday:
