One of the things I have done to promote my book 35 Miles From Shore has been to create a slide show presentation that tells the story using images, sound, and animation. I had my first presentation a few weeks ago. I have several more scheduled in the weeks ahead.
The slide show is like an interactive documentary. If you’re in the area, stop by. I think you’ll enjoy it.
Another advantage of doing book signings, even when you don’t sell a lot of books or get additional media coverage, is the chance to meet with people who have a connection to the story. In Florida I met with two of Jeannie Larmony’s granddaughters. On this visit I got to meet the sister-in-law of Ken Borrego. Ken was a crewmember aboard the Coast Guard Cutter Point Whitehorn.
I will be at the Borders on 8230 E. 49th, Denver, Colorado this Saturday from 3:00 pm to 5:00 pm. If you’re in the area stop by. For more information please visit my web site or booktour.com.
