Following a fast close to 2018 with December Book Signings at The Book Market at Hangar One and the newest BARBARA’S BOOKSTORE location, I was invited back to BARBARA’S for another Book Signing on January 5th. Many thanks to BARBARA’S BOOKSTORE and The Book Market for their incredible hospitality and support of Heartstrings in B-flat Minor.
Now, onward with the long-awaited kickoff to my TV Ad Campaign. Later this month a barrage of 22 spots will be spread around between seven major cable networks over a two-week period. Further details are coming soon on the Media & Events tab, as well as in the Gallery.
It’s all very exciting stuff for me. As you can imagine. Thanks for visiting.
I’m excited to have been invited back to the new BARBARA’S BOOKSTORE in Vernon Hill, IL for another Book Signing. Visit me there from Noon till 3:00 PM on Saturday, January 5th. It’d be great to see you.
Then stick around for live music. They’re still celebrating last month’s Grand Opening and will have additional live entertainment, as well.
From Noon – 2 PM I’ll be appearing with 5 other authors at the Grand Opening Celebration for the new BARBARA’S BOOKSTORE in Vernon Hills, IL. At 7 PM I will re-appear solo.
Book Signings are in the offing for me during the first half of December. The excitement starts Sunday the 2nd at The Book Market at Hangar One (Glenview, IL) where I’ll be meeting and greeting, and signing books from 11 AM to 3:30 PM. “Hangar One” comes from the historical fact that this book store and the retail community surrounding it are located in the middle of what used to be Naval Air Station (NAS) Glenview. Making this extra special for me is that I formerly served as a Photographer’s Mate in the Naval Air Reserve at NAS Glenview. The photo lab was in Hangar One, just opposite of where The Book Market now stands.
Come midmonth, Saturday the 15th, I’m honored to be participating in the Grand Opening of the newest Barbara’s Bookstore. With a jazz band playing in the background of “Barbara’s Bookstore Hawthorn Center,” there will be Book Signings by me at 2 PM and 7PM for Heartstrings in B-flat Minor. This is all happening in Vernon Hills, Illinois.
Please do enjoy the holiday spirit that comes with the month of December. Thanks for taking the time to read my ramblings. Take care, be safe.

Meet and greet with author Scott Johnson between 11:00 AM and 3:30 PM at a Book Signing for his novel, “Heartstrings in B-flat Minor.” Stick around for Wine & Light Hors D’ Oeuvres while enjoying a concurrent Holiday Gift Show.
As mentioned at HOME, I’m pleased to say that Heartstrings in B-flat Minor scored a 5 Star Review in the 2018 Readers’ Favorite Book Reviews and Award Contest. Heading into the month of Thanksgiving, I already have much to be grateful for; as this Readers’ Favorite recognition comes on the heels of dual debuts for my YouTube Videos. I’d been excited about that, and now this; all of which plays into what’s next.
Newly armed with my fun film noir Trailers and the Readers’ Favorite 5 Star Review, I’m more excited than ever about the prospects for Heartstrings in B-flat Minor. Resultantly, there is much afoot with things I’ll be rolling out soon in support of my debut novel.
Readers have been passionate about what “Heartstrings” has meant for them, and that’s been rewarding for me. The book’s message is being received.
“Beware!”
Meanwhile, and as always, many thanks to you who found your way here!

The recent YouTube debuts of my newly produced video trailers were exciting, indeed. Things had gone well from the day of the shoot, August 11th, starting with picture-perfect weather, right on through the editing process. It was a gas working with filmmaker Gabriel Spaulding, whose creative touches behind the lens and in editing totally complimented my original vision for these videos. Film noir all the way.
I have to admit, btw, that I really enjoyed the on-camera and voice-over roles I played. It’d been awhile since my last such gigs. Felt like old times.
Please seek out both versions (30-sec & 60-sec) under the MEDIA & EVENTS tab.
Thanks for being here!
