Christmas carols are already showing up on the radio again, and Thanksgiving is just a few days away. At this time of year, readers often ask me about giving my books as holiday gifts. Excellent idea -- glad you asked.
We're still a few months away from the hardcover release of THE BURYING PLACE (the much-awaited fifth Jonathan Stride novel) in the U.S., so if you have any trouble locating my first four novels (IMMORAL, STRIPPED, STALKED, and IN THE DARK) in stores, don't hesitate to place an order with your local bookseller. There should be plenty of time for every bookstore to get them in stock. You can also find the books with immediate availability at online retailers such as Amazon and BN.com.
What if you want signed copies with special inscriptions for your loved ones? No problem. There are two ways to do it. First, you can buy the books yourself, and send them to me with return postage and instructions for any inscription you'd like. My address is: Brian Freeman, PO Box 25211, Saint Paul, Minnesota 55125. I'm happy to sign books for you. Alternatively, you can also order my books through my local mystery bookstore, Once Upon a Crime, in Minneapolis. (612-870-3785 or onceuponacrime@earthlink.net) Pat and Gary are happy to do mail orders and can arrange for me to sign the books for you well before the holidays.
So give your friends and relatives a thrill this year. Happy Holidays!
I am a first time reader of your books, I was silly and started in the wrong order though. Starting with In the Dark and now just finishing Stalked, I am very excited that a new book is coming/already out! I hope that you had good holidays!
