My understanding is that when an author is finally signed up by a regular publisher (mine are as yet self published except for the MSReader version which is published by PocketPCPress and which cannot be "signed") ... the publisher sets up the signings, etc as part of a promotional package.
Anyhow, I hope you enjoy Volume II and find it compelling and engrossing. Please let me know what you think and consider a review on Amazon if you are so inclined. <p. Fregards.
