Book Signings

Hey, Readers!

Since the release of BRUISED things have snowballed and its been a ton of fun. I've met many awesome fans of the thriller and horror genres...and would like to think I've made a fan of a few more. Reviews are trickling in slowly and the novel seems to have been well received thus far. Very humbling!

I've been a part of two book signings now and BRUISED has sold out at both. What? Yes! A big thanks to Vagrant Books and Beagle & Wolf Books for having me and for your ongoing support. Your staff and customers both are fantastic!

Here are a few pics from both of the events:

Release Party For BRUISED

Hello, Readers!

So, the cover reveal for BRUISED was a smash, and we gave away some awesome books, posters and swag. With the swell of support, BRUISED released on May 13th and briefly stuck at #27 on the Supernatural Thrillers list! Hopefully that initial interest can be sustained.

You can purchase BRUISED anywhere books are sold (if your local bookstore isn't carrying, please ask) and also here: http://www.justinholley-author.com/writing.shtml

As a celebration of sorts for the success of this project, there will be a release party on June 5th, hosted by my friends over at Vagrant Books. There will be music, food, beverages, giveaways throughout the evening, signed copies, and readings from BRUISED, as well as, a sneak-preview of the sequel, WEDNESDAY'S CHILD. Please see details below:

Hope to see you all there!!

I threw a party and want to give you my gifts!!

So I finally got to see the awesome, amazing, and intense cover for my next novel, Press Play. And then the Book Buzz 2014 Young Adult edition released, which has the first two chapters in it. I was so excited that I threw a party to celebrate.

Bethany Crandell came with a signed copy of her novel, Summer on the Short Bus and a swag pack with bookmark and pin.

 

















AG Howard brought an awesome 18x24” Unhinged poster, as well as a Splintered series swag pack.

Lisa Ann O’Kane rolled up with an e-copy of her debut, Essence and some sweet swag pins.

 



 A. Lynden Rolland rocked the place with a signed copy of her debut, Of Breakable Things and her swag pins and bookmark.

 

 

And then Justin Holley scared us all with his contribution: a signed copy of the horror anthology, Amanda’s Recurring Nightmares, in which his short story, “Wildflower” is featured.

We had a blast, and because I’m so thrilled with my cover and the sample chapters, I WANT TO GIVE ALL MY GIFTS AWAY.

So let’s reveal my cover and then you will have a chance to win all that you saw above, as well as a signed copy of Press Play. Awesome, right?

*Drum roll*
