FIRST OFFICIAL BOOK-SIGNING!!

FIRST OFFICIAL BOOK-SIGNING!!




My first official book-signing event will be held on Saturday at the awesome All On The Same Page Bookstore!! Thank you, Robin and Dennis!!

Here is a little Q&A session that I held by myself regarding the book-signing event. (Oftentimes, authors can get very lonely and talk to themselves. A LOT!)

Q&A

When will the book-signing event be held?
It will be held this Saturday, April 27, from 1 to 3 p.m.

What can fans/readers/book-lovers expect?
Me sitting at a table, hopefully signing a book or two. You can ask me about anything, from my work as a sports writer to my work as an author to my less-than-stellar work as an owner trying to get his rambunctious, 110-pound Golden Retriever to behave.

Will there be any celebrities at the event?
There is a rumor floating around that Justin Bieber, Channing Tatum, Rihanna and Megan Fox will appear. (I MAY have started that rumor myself.) It has been confirmed that my wife will be there. She is super cool and super hot!

What are your books about?
Excellent question (he said to himself). I have written three books: Home Run from Heaven, Skyler's Magical Christmas and Skyler's Magical Year.

Home Run from Heaven was published Oct. 15, 2012. The premise: Dylan Bell, a freshman in high school, grew up idolizing his father, who played ten years of Major League Baseball. When his father passed away because of cancer, Dylan was heartbroken. But thanks to a loving family, a supportive girlfriend, a close bond with teammates, a crazy puppy, and a strong faith, Dylan grows as a baseball player and as a young man. With a little bit of help, and a lot of faith, Dylan just may be able to lead the Hudson Redmen to a place they have never been before in school history.

Skyler's Magical Christmas was published Dec. 7, 2012. The premise: Skyler has been a good girl all year long. The sweet, silly, pretty eight-year-old, who has long blonde hair, crystal blue eyes, and a huge smile, wants what many kids want for Christmas. Skyler wants a puppy. The family already owns one dog, an old, quiet gal by the name of Tasha. But Skyler wants a puppy to call her very own. When Skyler wakes up and races to see what is under the tree on Christmas morning, she sees that her wish has come true. She gets a cute puppy that she names Rowdy. But that’s not the only surprise Skyler gets. The Magical Christmas Dog Biscuits that Santa gives Skyler for the dogs make for an even bigger surprise. It all leads to some silly adventures for Skyler, Rowdy, and Tasha.

Skyler's Magical Year was published March 7, 2013. The premise: Skyler thought her life couldn’t get much better, or sillier, after a very special Christmas. The pretty, sweet, smart, athletic girl who has long blonde hair and crystal blue eyes, got to meet Santa, who gave Skyler some Magical Christmas Dog Biscuits. The biscuits gave her dogs, Rowdy and Tasha, the ability to talk! The next Christmas, Santa gave Skyler some Magical Christmas Candy Canes. Just what made those candy canes so magical? That’s what Skyler wanted to know! When she licked one, she found out. Let’s just say Santa isn’t the only special person Skyler meets. It all leads to more silly adventures for Skyler, Rowdy, and Tasha.

Where do you come up with your ideas for books?
Usually at the end of a bottle of wine. I kid! I kid! Sometimes ideas just "come to me." Oftentimes, I get inspired by something I see, hear, or witness. I've met a number of great people throughout my life, and many of them have inspired me in one way or another.

Are there any dangers to your "profession" as an author/writer?
Ever heard of papercuts?? Those thing can STING! And if you happen to be eating while you have a papercut and get a little salt in there, well, let's just say that would bring even a man like Chuck Norris to his knees.

What if I can't make it to the book-signing event? Can I still get a copy of your book?
You most certainly can. You can go to my Amazon author web page and find my books there. Here is the link: http://www.amazon.com/Kevin-Travis/e/B009SCI224/ref=sr_ntt_srch_lnk_1?qid=1362165968&sr=8-1


                                                            (Sweet Katherine)

What if I want a signed copy? Can I purchase one that way?
Of course! Just send me an email, let me know what book you want, who to make the book out to, send me a check and I will send you a signed copy! My email address is: kevtrav77@yahoo.com.

When will your next book come out?
I'm working on a couple different books right now. I'm hoping the next book will be out sometime this summer.


                                                         (Adorable Taylor)

I have a copy of your book. Can I send in a photo of me with your book?
Absolutely! I would love to see it and share it. Just send it to kevtrav77@yahoo.com.

Did you say something about a free book?
Okay, as a prelude to the book-signing event, I'm giving away three books (your choice of Home Run from Heaven, Skyler's Magical Christmas or Skyler's Magical Year). Just send me a message on Facebook that you want one. I will randomly select three people!
