Bob Pacilio's "Meet Me at Moonlight Beach" book signing NOVEMBER 15th 7-7:30 pm

Gang:

We had a FANTASTIC turnout on Nov. 15 at Coffee and Co. for the book launch of "Meet Me at Moonlight Beach." We sold out! More books are arriving today from my publisher--so YOU CAN ORDER AND GET YOUR SIGNED COPY NOW ! 

As you know the novel is available on Amazon, and will soon be a Kindle, as well. Naturally, I had the good fortune to have two of my dear friends Linda Englund and David Fares with me for a reading and as always my fantastic photographer and cover designer Bob Bjorkquist, as well.

I have some of the three previous novels available, too. 

Here is the excerpt from the back cover:

Noelani Keoka and Lewis Bennett sit next to each other in the waiting room of Dr. Amos Adler, an aging African-American psychiatrist, unaware that they are two of a kind. Both of them are trusting souls, blind to the betrayals life can deliver in one swift blow.

A native Hawaiian, Noelani’s passion is to be a professional dancer in Los Angeles, but all that depends on the strength of her legs. Lewis Bennett is a high school journalism teacher in Encinitas, the coastal town north of San Diego, and his eyes are his guide. What can happen when each of them ignores the warning signs of infidelity?  

This contemporary novel explores the brutal physical and emotional consequences that come from misfortune and blind faith. Meet Me at Moonlight Beach addresses the unseen, the unknown and the reckless behavior that can cripple the innocent, and it raises the question of how people can recover when their world suddenly goes dark. 

A few books are available at Book Tales on the 101 in Encinitas (signed):

MEET ME AT MOONLIGHT BEACH: we are LIVE!!

I just published my newest novel Meet Me at Moonlight Beach in paperback (and in Kindle formats is coming soon), and I will be speaking (and signing) in Rancho Bernardo and Encinitas.  (dates/ times TBA.) My book signings will have music, guest readers, and folksy stories about why I wrote a book set in Encinitas!

On a serious note, Joyce Daubert, who read my first draft, thought this was a book about surviving life's physical and emotional betrayals. As the years went by, the novel morphed into a story about trust and the courage to seek guidance and take action.

Speaking of help, I have had a wonderful team of supporters whom I cannot thank enough. Some, like Bob Bjorkquist, were hands on, and others were part of my cheering section, like Linda Englund. Of course, my wife Pam was the person I counted on when it came to the final finished product. I look forward to seeing you folks in the coming months. I have learned much about writing, but the two most important lessons I learned are to slow down and trust my own voice. 

For folks who cannot make it to a book signing, you can buy directly from me either through my website www.robertpacilio.net or by emailing me at robertpacilio@gmail.com. Payment can be through PayPal or by check.  I will be also accepting credit cards at presentations. The novel costs $15. Of course, you can purchase the book or ebook via Amazon, too. The Kindle will cost $9.99 (Naturally, I earn larger royalties buying direct from me--and I will pay for your shipping.) My mailing address is 446 Countrywood Lane, Encinitas CA 92024. I will be filling book  orders ASAP.

I cannot thank my publishing team enough (Christa Tiernan and Michelle Lovi), as well as all my loyal readers (and former students).
