The Curveball at the Crossroads Book Release Party was a smashing success!
Books were sold.
Cake was eaten.
Drinks were drank.
Fun was had.
Thank you to everyone who came out and a major thank you to the James Joyce Irish Pub for their support and allowing me to use such a great venue!
I finally received my copies of the 2nd edition of Curveball at the Crossroads. I was out of town for week and had them shipped to a family member's house and finally picked them up today. These on-hand copies will be for sale at the book release party at James Joyce Irish Pub in Tampa, FL on Dec 20.
Of course, par for the course with any online presence, I had to make an unboxing video. I think it turned out well.
Also, if any one wants a signed copy, let me know. My contact information is in the Connect section of this site. I take venmo and cashapp. Each copy of the book is $20 ($15 for the book, $5 shipping and postage).
On December 20th, 2021, I will be hosting a book release party for the 2nd edition of his highly acclaimed debut novel, Curveball at the Crossroads, from 6pm to 9pm at James Joyce Irish Pub, 1724 E 8th Ave, Tampa, FL 33605.
In a limited 1st edition printing, Curveball at the Crossroads received positive reviews from sportswriters, radio hosts, bloggers, podcasters, and New York Times Best Selling authors. Curveball at the Crossroads was also named runner-up, Best Book by a Local Author in Creative Loafing Tampa’s Best of the Bay 2021 Issue.
The 2nd edition of Curveball at the Crossroads builds on this success with a new cover designed by Grego “Mojohand” Anderson, one of America’s premier blues folk artists. This new cover captures the essence of the story while using the symbology of blues folklore.
Books will be available for purchase at a discounted rate and signed by the author. Drink specials to be announced.
I am super happy to announce Curveball at the Crossroads is now available everywhere! It has been a long road to get the book globally available, but it is now on Amazon, Barnes & Nobles, Abebooks, IngramSpark, IndieBound, and most importantly, through your local book store!
For me here in the Tampa Bay area, that would be Tombolo Books - click here to order Curveball at the Crossroads from them!
Please remember to support local businesses, they need your help!
I also offer signed copies - both of the 2nd edition and the limited 1st edition. I take venmo and cashapp. Hit me up at @JordiScrubbings on twitter or instagram!
On a personal note, it has been such a long journey to get this book to the masses. Somewhere deep in the bowels of this blog are posts where I documented the writing process. That was in 2012/2013. Almost 10 years later, it's out and not only are people buying it, but they are reading it. And they are enjoying it.
That makes the journey worth it.
