The show’s on the road
It looks like Sick will be traveling to a few conventions soon. We just sent C.J. Henderson a bunch of copies to take with him to a con that he is attending this weekend and then he’s got a few more lined up for February.
Efrem Emerson is going all out for RDSP at his bookstore Efrem Emerson’s books in San Diego. He’s got copies of both Sick and 15 Serial Killers in a display area in his store. We’ll soon be sending him posters to put up as well.
More review copies of Sick went out today so we’re almost finished with that mailing. Plus someone gave us the name of a good contact for info about setting up readings in New York City so hopefully that will pay off.
