Books by Linda Alexander

Hello Friends:

Happy Friday! Hope you're all looking forward to a relaxing weekend, no matter what weather you have on your scope. A few developments have come up for me in the last week or so & I wanted to pass them on:

1. My book's out in e-book!! I didn’t know we’d make it out this far ahead of the original date. If you like e-books, or know anyone who does, please visit the review/purchase link to follow. And hurry . . . the site has a 50% discount on new additions right now but I have no idea how long this really inexpensive price will last: http://www.fictionwise.com/ebooks/eBook65661.htm . If you, or your friends, purchase the e-book, send me proof of purchase and a mailing address & I’ll send you a rarely-seen framed 5X7 of Robert Taylor! NOTE: The print version is still, as of this date, expected in May.

2. I’ve done a print interview with Manic Readers, a wonderful site for readers and authors to meet and get to know each other. Here’s the direct link: http://manicreaders.com/index.cfm?disp=authorInterviews&iid=11 .

3. I also did an interview with Joe Carroccio of Author’s Voice, a great ‘net radio show: http://www.achieveradio.com/goodlife . Joe’s also graciously added the interview to his new site, Author’s Roost, a Resource Web site for Writers and Authors. Here’s that link: http://www.authorsroost.com . Please take a look at all that Author’s Roost has to offer . . . lots of great information and interviews!

4. And last (but only for now!), I’ll be appearing tomorrow night, SATURDAY, APRIL 5, 2008, at RETRO-METRO, a funky, fantastic, fun shop in historic downtown Frederick. The store is full of great gift items – for others & for yourself! – that you just won’t find anywhere else. And tomorrow night, you’ll find me there, signing copies of my backlist books: (nonfiction) The Unpromised Land and Dorothy From Kansas Meets the Wizard of X, and (fiction) Weekends In New England, & Until Next Time. This is part of Frederick’s annual First Saturday Gallery Walk, an event the city hosts each year as a “spring welcome.” The theme, “Much Ado About Books,” encompasses authors from all over Frederick County who'll be selling, signing, and chatting about their books at a wide assortment of merchant locations throughout downtown.

Please visit with me if you’re in or around the Frederick, MD area tomorrow between 5 PM – 9 PM. RRETRO-METRO is easy to find, located on Frederick’s main street at 213 N. MARKET. Phone number, if you’d like to call for directions: 301-698-8100. And here’s the link to ALL that’s going on – you can’t miss out on having a good time: http://www.downtownfrederick.org/play/FirstSaturdayListings.htm .

Reminder – I’m available for public discussions to groups of all sorts on a variety of topics. Please visit my websites: www.lindajalexander.net or www.authorsden.com/lindajalexander & e-mail me if you’d like to discuss an engagement. My most requested topics are: Bridging the Color Line and, of course, Robert Taylor and the HUAC period.

Hope to see many of you tomorrow night!!
