Released and ready to enjoy

It didn't take long before Behind the Signs was published and on the market. Once the final manuscript was gone over with a fine tooth comb until there was no comb left to go over it with, KABOOM, it was ready for the market. A couple downloaded PDF files to sign, scan, then send and the rest is history. EXCEPT for the marketing, of course. That's a project all in itself. I was forewarned on how much time and effort goes into marketing a book and most of what I heard was absolutely correct. It's a ton of work and lots of money. Penny pinching is becoming a minute by minute occurrence with me now, and I am getting damn good at it. It pays to shop around and not just feed the horse any old bale that comes in handy. Well, it's time to get some well-needed sleep.

Until next time,
Kirk Toncray

The Date

I have just received the official release date for Behind the Signs. My hotmail account contained an email from my publisher that the Behind the Signs title will be available on Saturday, October 27, 2012 at 10:00 Eastern Standard Time. I am excited about this. The book will be available through the publisher, I will announce the direct ordering address as it's made available to me.

Whew, glad this is finally taking shape!
Until next time,
Kirk Toncray

BEHIND THE SIGNS: Update on Release

BEHIND THE SIGNS: Update on Release

Update on Release

I received an update phone call today from my publisher. Behind the Signs will be available through them on (or about) November 6, 2012. That date should be easy to remember because of the election day here in the US. I'm excited about that even though the book won't be available through Amazon, Barnes & Noble or any electronic form for yet 7 to 10 weeks from today. That's okay, it still will be available in time for Christmas. I'll leave a direct link to the publisher with the order link attached as Behind the Signs is ready to order.

I'll keep you updated,
Kirk Toncray
