It’s supposed to rain tomorrow afternoon. Whatevs. All I know is that RAINY DAYS + BOOKSTORES = AWESOMENESS. If you’d like to hear the back story to A Father’s Son, make sure you’re at Chapters (142 John St.) by 1 p.m. tomorrow. Otherwise, just come by any old time before 5 o’clock to take part in the book signing and the bazillion other books on hand. See you there!

They’re just lists. But still. It’s an incredible feeling to see your book on lists as cool as Canadian Collections & Readers (#7) and Canadian Classics (#18). A Father’s Son is slowly ascending the ranks on amazon.ca. Thank you to everyone who has purchased a physical book or downloaded an e-book. You are making a dream come true…

From Monday (Sep. 09) 12:01 a.m. EST to Wednesday (Sep. 11) 11:59 p.m. EST, you can download a copy of A Father’s Son absolutely free on your Kindle. In addition, after downloading the free Kindle app (pic seen above) for your iPhone/iPad, you have access to Kindle’s entire library, including A Father’s Son. Take advantage of this rare opportunity and tell all your friends, family members and colleagues to download it right away!

For the low, low price of $9.48 you can now read A Father’s Son through the Kindle! Click here to learn more.

I will be hosting the first official book signing for A Father’s Son at Chapters (142 John St., corner of Richmond St. W.) on Sunday, September 15 from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. This will be a very family-friendly event, as this particular location has tons of gifts and books and other goodies for kids and babies. There’s also a Starbucks on the second floor and lots of chairs to lounge in and hang out (maybe even read a book if you’re feeling really crazy).

The event will kick off with a reading and a short Q&A session at one o’clock and continue with a marathon session of book signings and photo ops.

Please feel free to forward this post to anyone you know who might be interested in the event. We want to make a big splash and to do that we need your support!

Happy reading and see you all in September!

So………………………….

we had a little shindig for the launch of A Father’s Son last night. Here are some pics that highlighted the best of the night. Thank you to everyone who came out. Thank you to Jing for the pics and her technical expertise. Thank you to my family for travelling far and wide to make this the happiest day of my young novelist life. Thank you, everybody. Period.

You can now order A Father’s Son from Barnes & Noble should you prefer that site to Amazon. (Click here to go directly to the B&N website)

Josh Peace has been kind enough to host the official launch of A Father’s Son on August 14 at 7 p.m. at his Fionn MacCool’s (235 Bloor St. E.). Come one, come all to the biggest word nerd party of the summer. Books will be available for sale and free bookmarks will be given out to everyone who attends (only the coolest gift since…umm…free gifts were invented!)

Hope to see you there…

A Father’s Son is now available on amazon.com (please click here to purchase the book).

A Father’s Son has just gone up for sale at CreateSpace, the publisher of the novel. How to describe this feeling? Mildly intoxicating, with a touch of kimchi-like pep. Okay, that sounds kind of gross, but it feels AMAZE! Like, amaze amaze.

Please click here to purchase a copy.

Stay tuned for news of its imminent arrival at Amazon.com (week of July 29), its arrival at the book launch (August 14), its arrival through Kindle (last week of August), and its arrival in select bookstores nationwide (end of September).

Thank you to everyone who has been along for the journey and provided support, guidance and much-needed TLC. What started out as a seedling on a Boracay beach in December 2000 morphed into a short story in 2006 and is now a full-fledged novel in 2013.
