I
will be at the Los Angeles Times Festival of Books tomorrow at USC. I’ll be selling and signing copies of Two Gun
Hart and The Great Heist. I’ll also have
a couple copies of Pro Bono since that book is, in many ways, the third book in
that symbolic trilogy.
My
primary goal at most festivals is to give out as many flyers as possible so
they can see who I am and what my work is like.
But this time I’m actually hoping to sell a number of books because of
the subject matter. I have always
believed, and still believe, that the simple fact that Al Capone had a
long-lost brother who was a Prohibition officer is enough to turn heads and
attract people enough to purchase it. To
lure people in, I have made 8 ½ X 11 sheets of the cover, and of the various
articles with the headlines in large bold letters declaring the fact of the
relation, and Two Gun’s profession. Just
in case this is not enough to get people to buy, I’ve also printed numerous
copies of the prologue of the book, which is the introduction Harry always
gives when he talks about his father.
Below
is the link to the festival, and a sheet I’m going to post along with the
headlines and articles.
