If you’re intrigued by the contents of Fiore’s sea chest, this is the event for you.
Come Hither of New Bedford will host an 18+ Fiorenzo-focused event, featuring a live reading, author Q&A, and book signing from yours truly.
Come Hither is a welcoming space for all sexualities and relationships. Riding crops, ropes, and more abound. I cannot imagine a more perfect venue to host this auspicious event.
WHAT Fiorenzo reading, Q&A, and book signing!
WHERE Come Hither on the third floor of the Kilburn Mills 127 West Rodney French Blvd New Bedford, MA
Spring has sprung, and what better way to celebrate the season than with books? Come join me at Barnes & Noble in Warwick, Rhode Island for a book signing – I can’t wait to meet you there!

WHEN Saturday, April 11th at 2pm
WHERE Barnes & Noble Warwick Centre 1350-B Bald Hill Rd Warwick, RI
Ask your local library or indie bookshop to invite them.

Getting your favorite indie author to visit your local library or indie bookshop is a bit like getting a specific guest for your local Comic Con. In my experience most libraries and bookshops (understandably) do not want cold calls from indie authors. As a result, authors really can’t invite themselves to the party. You, the patron, have to want your fave author to do a signing – and more importantly, you have to communicate this want to the library and/or bookshop.
(In a related matter, do you want to see your fave sci-fi/fantasy/spec fic author at your local fan convention? Ask the con to invite them!)
If you want me to come to a particular town or city or event, I am the guy who is probably the least in charge of whether or not that happens. While I very much appreciate all the kind messages asking me to visit your local bookshop, there’s very little I can do about it on my end.
So how do you make it happen?
Ask the people running the thing if it’s possible, and if so, ask them to invite me to apply. (Ask them nicely! Politely! Be kind and be willing to accept “no” for an answer!)
As always, thank you for reading, and I look forward to meeting you soon!
What better way to kick off the new year than with books? Come join me at Barnes & Noble in Wareham, Massachusetts for a book signing – I can’t wait to meet you there!
WHAT Sebastian Nothwell book signing!
WHEN Saturday, January 10th at noon
WHERE Barnes & Noble 2421 Cranberry Hwy, Suite 444 Wareham, MA
Due to a slight inventory mix-up, the signing has been rescheduled to Friday, October 24th, from 6pm onward. It will still be at Barnes & Noble in North Dartmouth, Massachusetts – just evening instead of afternoon, and pushed back far enough to allow for the books to arrive.
Apologies to those of you who had already intended to swing by. I only hope the plans made may be easily amended.
I’ve met so many wonderful readers at events like these, and I look forward to meeting you at the book signing on the new date and time – so please do come over and say hello!
This is the most local-to-me signing I’ve ever done, so if you’re able to attend I have plenty of recommendations for tasty treats and cool sites to visit just a hop, skip, and jump over in scenic New Bedford!
Consider…
Izzy’s Restaurant – Incredible Cape Verdean fare; the cachupa rafugado is divine.
BesTeas – Delicious boba with actual brewed tea; my personal faves are the Salty Girl (salted caramel oolong), the Early bird (earl grey), and the Ride-or-Thai (precisely what it says on the tin).
The Baker – A wonderful bakery and cafe that has thrived despite throwing everyone who tries to verbally recommend it into a Who’s-On-First skit, and creator of the only yeasted cinnamon roll I will accept into my heart.
Aviary Books – Why visit just one bookshop in a day when you can visit two? Aviary Books has a skillfully-curated selection of fine pre-loved books, stationery, and a charming shop cat. The shop’s first anniversary will be the same day as my signing, so what better excuse to celebrate?
Acushnet River Antiques – Chock-a-block with vintage treasures and conveniently located right next door to Kyler’s Catch for the freshest seafood in town. (And given that New Bedford is one of the biggest fishing ports in the whole country? That’s saying something.)
The New Bedford Whaling Museum – I’m biased for Hold Fast reasons but the jewel of New Bedford is jam packed with exhibits of ecological, historical, and artistic interest. Wonder at the suspended whale skeletons, climb aboard the half-scale whaleship model, and stare at scrimshaw both shocking and sublime.
Regardless of how much of my hometown you take in, I’d be thrilled to meet you at the book signing – so come over and say hello!
Bookstore Romance Day, a celebration of the romance genre at independent bookshops.
At LaLa we will be having local author readings and book signings, as well as a Romance Trivia game and a raffle for a book tote filled with romance reading.
