Book signing in Houston, September 21st.
Just wanted to drop a last minute reminder that I’ll be speaking with two other authors and signing books tomorrow at the River Oaks Bookstore in Houston. I realize I should have done this earlier, but I’m really bad at this whole self-promotion thing. I now have printed copies of my book for sale. If anyone is around River Oaks tomorrow, please come by. I’ll be there between 4 and 6 pm.

This appearance is for Hispanic Heritage month. But as I’ve said before, I’m not a Hispanic militant. At an appearance yesterday, I was quoted by a reporter:
“Hernandez, a military veteran of 24 years, spoke about his heritage as a Hispanic-American. He said his family shaped his future in the same way as every other person and chooses to celebrate the differences and similarities he shares with his fellow Americans.
‘Being Hispanic doesn’t separate us. We’re all part of this very inclusive American culture,’ he said. ‘I don’t feel like I’m different. This happens to be my ethnicity. It doesn’t make me better. It doesn’t make me worse. It just makes me an American who has to make something of myself.’”
Thanks and hope to see you guys there.

It was an intimate event and very well done. Who knew there as actual, independent book store left in Houston? Anyplace that has a stack of John Graves “Goodbye to a River” in both paperback and hardcover is my kind of place. It was nice to meet Chris and hear him read a short piece of his book. It was also good to hear that the South Texas book will be out presently. Thanks, Chris.
Ken,
Thank YOU for being there. By the way, you bought the very first hardcover of my book. It was good to meet you, and I owe you one.
My pleasure. Looking forward to the next one. I want to know how that story comes out.
And regarding that Houston story, you should take a look at Bruce Schneier’s blog. https://www.schneier.com/cgi-bin/mt/mt-search.cgi?tag=movie-plot%20threat%20contests
Practically any bad plot you can think of, someone has already thought of before.
Hi from Paris/ FRANCE Chris ! Hope you had a good and interesting book signing in Houston, September 21st ! glad to read you asap 🙂
Daniel,
It was a good book signing, and I was surprised to see someone there who follows my blog. I hope you enjoy my book, and please let me know what you think of it.
So….if I buy a paper copy of “Proof of our Resolve” does that help contribute to “Line in the Sand” getting published?
Pretty much. Any commercial success for one book helps propel the next. But don’t feel obligated, you’ve given me plenty of support already, brother.
Pfft. I want to put it on the shelf next to “Rainbow Six” and “By Order of the President”, also it’s a lot easier to re-read it without having to bum my sister’s Kindle all the time. And I can pass it around my section.
