Last Saturday at the Galveston Bookshop here on the island, Joy and I had what was the best day we have ever had at a book event/signing. All three of our historical fiction books (The Troves of Zac Love, Billy Love – A Pebble in the Galveston Sand, The Last Madam a Legend of the Texas Chicken Ranch) were featured. These books are also available on Amazon or from our website - www.jjgalvestonbooks.com.
We arrived at the shop about 30 minutes early and there were people already waiting to buy the books, have them signed and talk about details of the various books. We want to thank the entire staff at Galveston Bookshop for their promotion before the event and their excellent assistance while we were there.
Many of our visitors and buyers were from Galveston and the surrounding area, but somewhat surprisingly, many were also from other parts of our country. In reality, that probably shouldn’t have surprised us, because we have seen before that the appeal of historical fiction really knows no geographical boundaries or stereotyped readers. Buyers/readers from Wisconsin, Illinois, and Alabama were as enthusiastic about the books as those from this area and other parts of Texas. It just shows again that well written books with a compelling story have a wide appeal.
Anyway, the attached photo shows Joy and me just before the event officially started. Just after this was taken, we were covered up with buyers/readers for the next 2 hours. It is refreshing to meet so many new friends and followers. We are slowly, but surely, growing the following for our books The positive feedback we receive from our readers encourages us to continue producing these types of work. Our primary goal is to entertain, inspire, and give our readers more to ponder as they traverse this amazing path called life.
Thanks to all and never forget that even with all the hate in this world, Love is the only real answer. ... See MoreSee Less

In our new book, "The Troves of Zac Love", the main character, a dockworker named Zac Love, saw hundreds of sunsets just like this one over Galveston Bay. Each sunset reminded him of the presence of a Higher Being and inspired him in so many other ways. It seemed to always renew his passion for finding the lost treasure of the early 1800 Galveston pirate, Jean Laffite. Visit our website at www.jjgalvestonbooks.com, buy the book and learn all of the treasures that Zac found during his lifetime. Some were far more important to him than the mere gold and silver buried by the pirate. While reading, you’ll also learn many of the historical details of this timeless island. ... See MoreSee Less
