Book Launch Party?

No. I don't want to have a "Book Launch" Party. I know that this is one of the ways authors promote and celebrate the release of a new book. But I'm someone who doesn't like to throw parties. I don't like the planning, the invitations, the hosting, or the preparation, set-up, and clean-up. I'm still smarting for when my wife threw that surprise party for me about five years ago. (I told her not to do that.)

Anyway, I know it's something good to do. It gets the word out, and if you throw the party in a book store, then people who aren't invited will know about it. That is, those people who just happen to show up at the bookstore while the party is in progress. But even though it may well sell some books, I'm still averse to the "party" idea.

So we'll see. I might change my mind. Regardless, I'll be promoting the release of KILLER OF KILLERS in other ways. Although I'm still figuring that part out.
