The Prince’s Psalm, my first ever romance, first ever historical, first ever Biblical epic about the sweeping love story between David, of David and Goliath fame and Prince Jonathan, the first heir to the throne of the then brand new, emerging nation of Israel, launched June 7th in print and digital versions (available in all platforms here: http://thedinnerpartyshow.com/albums/the-princes-psalm/

There has been a book tour going on, but it’s been online. It has taken the form of guest posts and reviews on the blogs of generous colleagues and book enthusiasts. It began at The Purple Rose Tea House with a guest post about my emotional first encounter with Michelangelo’s iconic David and the lasting effects on me and my home décor here:    http://www.purpleroseteahouse.com/2016/06/08/guest-post-il-david-the-princes-psalm-by-eric-shaw-quinn/

The Novel Approach blog shared my thoughts on the challenges of writing a novel I wasn’t qualified to write until I was finished writing it — Now I could teach a class!! — in which I reveal why proving what no one knows is as important as finding out what has been proven for certain. You’ll find my detailed account here: http://www.thenovelapproachreviews.com/the-princes-psalm-a-guest-post-by-author-eric-shaw-quinn/

And Then There Was Sarah . . . Cradit that is, the USA Today bestselling author of the epic House of Chrimson & Clover series, has launched the first of three tour events at her blog with a guest post from me on the few simple Biblical verses that inspired me to begin a 20 year quest to write and publish The Prince’s Psalm. My interview with Sarah premieres on her blog next week and she will publish an exclusive excerpt from The Prince’s Psalm there the week following. Catch up and stay tuned for more at: https://sarahcradit.wordpress.com/2016/07/05/the-eric-shaw-quinn-series-part-1-of-3-a-guest-post-from-eric/

There’ve even been a couple of stops on the blog tour right here at EricShawQuinn.com about how Anne Rice threatened me into pursuing my dream project and a the tale of the development of a cover worthy of the labor of love that is The Prince’s Psalm. I hope everyone else is enjoying this digital tour as much as I am.

On the one hand I love doing a book tour while sealed in my excessively air conditioned office (I’ve been having a hot flash since the mid-80s) and working on Down Low, the latest in my Write Murder mystery series featuring the worst sleuths in murder mystery lit – bitterly scorned, celebrity ghostwriter Paige Blanche & and his nemesis Angela Panderson the aging, washed-up, has-been TV star who ruined Paige’s life. Meet them then in Write Murder http://thedinnerpartyshow.com/albums/write-murder/

That other hand though? I do miss seeing people in person to talk about the stories and character’s that’ve been trapped in my head with real people who’ve been kind enough to read my novels. And, I still haven’t worked out how to get people’s books signed on a digital tour. I will be signing The Prince’s Psalm and my other books live and in person at The Ripped Bodice bookstore in Culver City California Sunday, July 17th at 1pm in an event featuring bestselling authors Christopher Rice (http://thedinnerpartyshow.com/christopher-rice-books/) and Damon Suede (http://www.damonsuede.com/author.html) who’ve kindly allowed me to join them at their event. So if you can make it, I’d love to see you and sign your copy of The Prince’s Psalm if you’d like.

But to the clever digital wizards out there (or just the digitally better informed) please invent a way to sign books digitally. Meanwhile, hope to see you Sunday July 17th at The Ripped Bodice and, I hope, a book lover’s venue near you very soon!

I will be signing The Prince’s Psalm at The Ripped Bodice bookstore on Sunday July 17th at 1:00pm, with the fabulous Damon Suede and the vivacious Christopher Rice. There will be games and mimosas and books and general foolishness, apparently. Not your grandma’s book signing! If you’re in the area it would be great to see you!
