The Mets will have a busy June, and so will I. June and December are the biggest months for the sale of sports books.
If you don’t mind, I’d like to mention that I will almost certainly be making an appearance somewhere near you in the next month. If you’d like to meet me, hear me read from and talk about my books, or get an inscribed and discounted copy of either of them, I will be appearing at the following venues in the month of June:
June 3 – 7 pm Wethersfield Public Library, Wethersfield, Connecticut
June 8 – 7pm Floral Park Public Library, Floral Park, Long Island
June 14 – 7 pm East 4th Street Kensington-Windsor Terrace Veterans’ Memorial Garden (Located on East 4th Street between Ft. Hamilton Parkway and Caton Avenue in Brooklyn)
June 15 – 7 pm North Arlington Public Library, North Arlington, New Jersey
June 17 – 7pm Barnes and Noble’s, Manhasset, Long Island
June 21 – 7 pm Milford Public Library, Milford, Connecticut
June 30 – 7:30 pm Northport-East Northport Public Library, East Northport, Long Island
I will also be offering, for the entire month of June, my Father’s Day Special. If you’d like to give a dad a very personally inscribed copy of either of my books for Father’s Day, just e-mail me at danaabrand@yahoo.com. Tell me a few things about the dad’s Mets fandom (that I can use in my inscription) and give me your address. I will send you my address to which you can send a check for $17.50 per book, which covers everything including postage. I will get his personal copy in the mail to you as soon as I have your e-mail. Please note that this offer applies to both Mets Fan and The Last Days of Shea. The price for the inscribed book is therefore the same as an uninscribed Last Days of Shea from Amazon, and you get an enormous discount from me off of Amazon’s price for Mets Fan (I’m passing on the author’s discount because I want more people to know about Mets Fan, which deals with being a Mets fan from 1962 to 2006).
So, as they say, enough about me. I’ll be back to blogging about the Mets in the next few days.
Awesome. I will have to try to get to Floral Park. I love to hear you speak and I owe you a buck. lol
Hope to see you when you’re on LI. We’re standing outside a bank in Queens waiting to meet Keith hernandez. You would love this, a bunch of Mets fans killing the time on line telling stories about the Mets, the times they met players, great plays, etc. What a community we have.
Dana,
I am hoping to see you again in Manhasset and will introuduce my 20 year old (journalism major) son to you. Hopefully this momentum will continue as I imagine it makes your lectures that much more enjoyable. In the last few games we have had a completely home grown infield!!!!. We have an outfield that is performing very well and a catcher that has exceeded our expectations. Pelph and Johan have been a great 1-2 and the bullpen has been decent. I honestly think 1-25 we are a better team than the Phils. It is June 9 and we are solidly in contention. While we miss Beltran I must say that I am thrilled with Pagan! Things are good with the Metropolitans!!!!!!!!!
I hope to see some of you folks at the Barnes and Noble in Manhasset on Thursday. This is my first actual bookstore appearance and a good turnout will help me to try to set up more bookstore appearances. Although my library and college appearances always draw a good crowd, bookstores are more wary of speakers, it seems, perhaps because they have to order books. Who knows? In any event. I hope to see you there, and please make sure to identify yourself if I don’t already know who you are.
