Finally I can announce some legitimate dates for my upcoming book, “The Bar Belle Vol. 2.” I’ll be having a pre-launch of sorts at Carmichael’s Bookstore on Thursday, Aug. 27 (7 p.m.), where I’ll be doing a reading and signing … and possibly a surprise as well. Then, on Wednesday, Sept. 9, the book will officially be launched just in time for National Bourbon Month at The Back Door (6-8 p.m.). The first 100 people who purchase a book will get a free Bar Belle coozie … and probably a lap dance.

Details on a full book tour of local bars and retail shops will be announced soon.

I’d like to thank Jeaneen Barnhart for the amazing art on the front cover, and her twin sister Doreen for her wonderful design of the cover. Woodford Reserve Master Distiller Chris Morris was kind enough to write the foreword for me, so I’m thrilled to have his stamp of approval.

The book will also be available here on my site (under the “Books” tab above), at Carmichael’s Bookstores, Liquor Barn and Regalo Gifts.

Yay for reading!
