SWEET HOME SPRINGFIELD: Author Christopher Long Returns to the Queen City

SWEET HOME SPRINGFIELD

Author Christopher Long

Returns to the Queen City

__________

A childhood native of Springfield, Missouri,

much of Christopher Long's fiction debut,

Superstar, plays out right in the heart of the

Ozarks. As a result, when Superstar was

released via Moonshine Cove Publishing in

the spring of 2019, one of the two official

launch events was held in his hometown

at ABC Books. Good times, for sure.

To commemorate the one-year anniversary

of Superstar, Chris returned to ABC Books

for another hometown meet-and-greet on

May 21st.

Chris was blessed to have had so many childhood

friends attend his recent hometown author event.

It was an amazing 10-day trek — a bona fide

"Wonder Years"-type experience fueled by

reconnecting with old friends, making new

ones and an array of press ops — culminating

with the ABC book signing.

ABC Books owner, Valerie Earhart will soon

be announcing a VERY special Springfield

Superstar in-store promotion. Stand by!

A personal message

from Superstar author

Christopher Long...

__________

In addition to my various writing endeavors,

for the last 25 years, I've also been the resident

DJ at Siggy's American Bar in Palm Bay, FL.

Despite the current Corona crisis shutdown,

Siggy's "take out" business has been booming.

And this Friday (April 24, 2020), I'll be part

of the Siggy's "to go" team — selling pre-

signed, pre-sealed, pre-pandemic copies of

Superstar.

What better time than during a quarantine to

dive into a riveting read? So, if you're in the

area, stop by and grab some grub "to go."

While you're there, wave "Hi" and pick up

a copy of my book. ($20)

I'll be masked, rubber gloved, and practicing

safe social distancing, as all of my screaming

fans will kept six feet apart. LOL

See ya there!

FLORIDA SUMMER

AUTHOR EXPO

Meet the authors. Hear their stories.

(Siggy's / Palm Bay, FL / 6.22.19)

__________ 

The folks at Siggy's in

Palm Bay, Florida are

throwing a book bash.

And we're ALL invited!

__________

For Superstar author, Christopher Long, it's the aspect of book promotions he enjoys most — meeting and greeting folks, one on one. But Chris is looking forward to this particular author event for several reasons. For starters, it's a hometown appearance, being held just outside Siggy's, the popular Florida nightclub where he's been the resident DJ for the last 22 years. Chris also is psyched to be working with a cast of colleagues he's admired for quite some time.

Authors Christopher Long and Violet Favero
appearing at 2018 Florida holiday book event.

Space Coast children's author, Violet Favero, launched her popular Silly Yaya series back in 2015. Since then, Violet has released a slew of super-fun kids' books, including her latest, Gracie's RV Mis-Adventures.

The author of an array of adult fiction titles, Joanne Fisher, has been a part of the Florida writers' scene for ages now. Her most current book, Baker's Dozen Anthology, is an engaging collection of short stories — including the confessions of a clever canine and revelations of romance. 

Author Christopher Long with Joanne Fisher
at one of her recent Florida book events. 

Lake Wales author, Shellie Blum, will be selling and signing copies of her heart-stopping memoir, Waterski Girl Wonder. For those who enjoy a gripping personal tale of triumph over tragedy, Shellie's book is a must-read.

Christopher Long will have copies of Superstar and also will be giving away free digital CD copies of his two Christian Living titles, C'MON! and Shout it Out Loud. Hugs, handshakes and high-fives also will be free.

Celebrated author, Shellie Blum, will be making
her first-ever Palm Bay book signing appearance.

Although Siggy's is hosting the Author Expo, the event actually is happening outdoors, under the shade, in front of the club. Hence, this is TOTALLY a family-friendly celebration. There will be fun music to fuel the party and onsite concessions (including a kid's beverage bar) will available — a particular plus on a hot summer day. And the event is FREE! So, make an afternoon of it — grab the fam and come on out. Meet the authors. Ask the questions. Hear their stories. Score their books. (1pm-4pm)

SEE YA THERE!
