Greetings friends and neighbors, My official book launch party was on Saturday, February 2nd, 2013 at St. John's Booksellers in the St. Johns neighborhood or North Portland. The night was a blast, with Craig Hart, editor-in-chief of the fine literary magazine The Rusty Nail and founder of Sweatshoppe Publications, MC'ing the event. Many of my friends and family volunteered to perform and we had a variety of poets and musicians sharing their talents in celebration of my book's official release. I'm thankful to each and everyone of them, and to all who attended and purchased the book. The book is now available on both Barnes and Noble and Amazon.com , as well at St Johns Booksellers, for $10.99 (plus shipping, where applicable). I am offering signed copies of this book for $10 plus shipping to anyone who follows my author page on Facebook and buys the book directly through my Sweatshoppe page . So, if you're not following my author page on Facebook, click thi...

Greetings! I announced recently my signing with Sweatshoppe Publications . I'm pleased to announce that the book is available now for pre sale and that there will be a book launch in the St. John's neighborhood of Portland on Feb 2nd. Purchase the book now or at the event and I'll sign the book for you. If you plan on purchasing your copy at the event, please let me know so I can make sure I have enough copies on hand. I'm honored to have many of my friends and family sharing their talents alongside me that evening. Having a book deal and a book in print has always been a dream of mine and I'm pleased-- nay! elated!-- that this dream is coming to pass. Thanks to all of you for your unending love and support and I hope to see you on Feb 2nd.  The links above will take you where you need to go. Justin

Three months ago I published my poetry book, Digging to China , on Amazon Kindle. I wish I had a nicer day to share this happy news on, but, I have just signed a contract with Sweatshoppe Publications to publish my poetry collection, Digging to China. The Kindle version will still be available, but the new book will have more poems in it. I'm excited to have this book almost in print and more easily available! Thanks for your time, Justin Is the book any good? Here's a review/interview. Follow me! Facebook (author page) Twitter Google Plus LinkedIn Pinterest Hubpages blog

Three months ago I published my poetry book, Digging to China , on Amazon Kindle. I included it in the KDP select program which meant that I had five free days to give away the book (I didn't understand the point of giving anything away until recently) and gave away a total of 59 copies doing these. These are 59 folks who likely wouldn't have read my book otherwise. Now, the three months is up and so is my exclusive digital contract with Amazon. I'm happy to say I am now selling copies of Digging to China as a PDF for $1.75. It's still available for Amazon Kindle for $1.99. Simply email me and I'll send you an invoice for the book from Paypal. I'm also working to get the book printed, so, anything additional helps and will go towards that. I look forward to your thoughts on the book. Feel free to write a review and I'll link to it. Thanks for your time, Justin Is the book any good? Here's a review/interview. Follow me! Facebook  (au...
