Book signing photos & more
As promised, here are a few photos from last night's signing/panel discussion at the Cary, NC, Barnes & Noble. As always, we had a wonderful time! Thank you to Linda Maloof and her fabulous staff (Hi Buck & Butch!) for hosting us again! We'll definitely be doing it again.
From left to right: David Drake, Mark Van Name, James Maxey, and moi -- yep, I have really short hair now.

And you know I had to get my shot with the sound system.

Part of our audience. We had about 40 in attendance. A very nice crowd, who asked some great questions.
You can contribute to the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation by clicking here. This will take you to James's personal fundraising page; just click the button that says "Support James." Then, to get your signed copy of Dragonseed, just email him your mailing address to nobodynovelwriter@yahoo.com. He's set aside 50 copies for this cause; if he gives them all away by the end of July, he's pretty sure he can get his hands on another 50.
I lost my mother to breast cancer 28 years ago before there was anything remotely resembling a cure. I've already made my donation to James's fundraising effort through this wonderful organization and James brought my signed copy of Dragonseed to the book signing last night.
The Susan Komen Foundation is an incredible organization, and for a donation of any amount, you can get a free signed copy of James's latest book -- a win/win for everyone -- especially the search for a cure!

Now, for something incredibly cool that James Maxey is doing as a fundraiser. For those who read his blog and the acknowledgement pages in his books know that he lost his partner Laura Herrmann to breast cancer in May 2006. To help raise money to help find a cure, he's just announced his "Books for Breasts" promotion on his blog. Anyone who contributes any amount to the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation through the "Team Dragon" fundraising page will get a free signed copy of his latest book, Dragonseed. James will even pay the postage. The book will be released in bookstores on June 30, but James has promotional copies available now.
