Visit me Selling my Books at Art A Whirl 2026
Alright, pretty self explanatory. I’ll be at Art A Whirl all weekend selling my books.
Art A Whirl is an awesome event, and this is my first time at it. So I guess I assume it’s awesome? I have no idea what to expect. I’ve heard amazing things. I know that is busy, fun, different, unique, and very artsy.
To learn more about Art a Whirl hit it right here.
I’ll be there for the whole thing. Admission is FREE. Friday 5 – 10 pm, Saturday 12 – 8 pm, and Sunday 12 – 5 pm. I’m in the Artspace Jackson Flats 901 18 1⁄2 Ave NE Minneapolis, MN 55418. I’m inside the building, in front of some office door. I hope nobody gets entombed by my books, but so be it if it happens.
I’ll have all my books for sale. All revised editions. The best these books have to offer. Now is the time to get invested in the series. Also, buy other stuff around the place. It isn’t all about me. I love my monsters, and my books, but there is so much to see at this event. I can’t wait to be a part of it.
Hope to see you there!

For some reason, since my book went live on the 19th of April, I have sold more physical copies in Germany than anywhere else.
How odd for an Australian book.

Genre-Specific Bookstores: How Indie Authors Can Reach Ready-Made Readers
No two bookstores are alike. While chain stores usually offer a wide, general-interest selection, genre-focused bookstores set themselves apart by serving very specific niche readers. Though publishers still rely on big, catch-all genre categories, readers are on a different kind of search. They’re no longer satisfied with just “fantasy” or “romance”—they want precise tropes and micro-categories.
