Well all, the beginning of marketing my book is underway.    I’ve been blessed to schedule a couple of book signings, one on July 26th at the Liberty Center, Ohio Public Library from 10:00 AM ’til 3:00 PM and then at the Defiance, Ohio Public Library on the 27th of August from 1:00 PM ’til 3:00 PM.

I love meeting these opeople who just love books!   Please be aware of my desire to gain speaking engagements also.  any one and every one is a target! 

Father-son banquets, sportsman clubs, western shooter clubs, etc. are all fair game.  I gear my talks to where ever I am and focus on the positive aspects of life and the adventures to be had by us “ordinary” people!

Well, as the release of my first novel nears I can almost feel the disappointment of years of waiting fade into the background.  The frustration of attempting to get a publisher or literary agent to even read a manuscript is now simply non-existent.

White feather Press has given me the start I desired as a writer and I shall be ever grateful to Skip Coryell for that.  They shall also remain my publisher for as long as they want for I am a dedicated friend and partner to those who help me achieve my goals.

Another friend who must be recognized for his devout work and dedicated service is my web designer, Greg Burkholder.  Greg is simply one of the best!  His talents, skills, and friendship have been priceless, not only in the development of the website, but in life.  Thanks, Pard.

You, the readers, are also helping me with these goals.  My prayers are that each and every one of you who reads my books will be blessed by the time spent, and that you will be rewarded for your interest in my work.  Therefore, I am also dedicated to you.

I am here as your servant, not the other way around, and I welcome any and all critiques, whether positive or negative – after all, I am not a perfected being by any means.

So please, be free with your comments.  let me know of your wishes for future works, and most importantly; enjoy!

Blessings,

Will Riley
