The Most Shocking Book to Ever Be Written About Elvis Presley Releases Nov. 2

   Congratulations to Gary Lindberg, founder of Calumet Editions, on the release of a book that was 30 years in the making.  Letters from Elvis finally launched the evening of Nov. 2, 2018, at the Barnes and Noble Booksellers store in Edina, Minn.  More than 70 people turned out for the presentation, reading and signing, where Lindberg launched the book, and shared the story behind how it came to be.
  The book is based on the contents of a collection of letters Elvis and his friends—Harry Belafonte, Tom Jones and Marlon Brando—wrote to their secret confidant, Carmen Montez. The letters shed light on what was happening at a time in Elvis’ life when he seemed to be in a tragic decline. They discuss torture, heinous Hollywood crimes, various suicide attempts, his overmedication and more.
   Until now only a few people knew that these letters existed. Lindberg has known about them for close to 30 years, and only recently secured the legal go-ahead to release this book.
   In the days leading up to the launch,  Lindberg was interviews on the FOX 9 BUZZ and KARE TV in Minneapolis. Now that the launch has happened, the author is going on tour to promote the book. His November stops include the followong stores:
Common Good Books, St. Paul, Nov. 7, 7 p.m.
   Barnes & Noble St. Cloud, Nov. 11, 1 p.m.
   Barnes & Noble Rochester, Nov. 17, 2 p.m.  
   Learn more about the book at CalumetEditions.com/Elvis.

   I had a great time presenting at the The Information and Technology Educators of Minnesota (ITEM) Fall Conference in Alexandria, Minn., on Oct. 26.

   In addition to offering a glimpse into how it's possible for teens to get their books published for free, I shared the basics on the novel writing process, and talked about how the publishing industry works.

Twin Cities Book Festival Draws a Good Crowd to the State Fairgrounds Oct. 13

   The Twin Cities Book Festival drew a strong crowd of book enthusiasts to the Minnesota State Fair Grounds on Oct. 13. Both the RMA Publicity and Sigma's Bookshelf tables had a steady stream of visitors all day long.

   At the RMA Publicity table, I answered questions about publicity, while several of the authors I work with sold books. Meantime, over at the Sigma's Bookshelf table, seven of our teen authors staffed the table throughout the day. They got great support from the crowd, selling more than 20 books total. Not bad for a day's work!
