Books-a-Million in West Ashley was so impressed with my signing there last month that they've asked me back to do another one - either that or they want to make a few bucks.

I'll be signing copies of my latest thriller, Undead on Arrival on April 19 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. The store is at 832 Orleans Road, Charleston SC. Feel free to drop in, say hello and have a chat.

Thanks to everyone who came!

Above & below: My son, Sam, keeps me company during today's

book signing at Barnes & Noble.

I feel like I've been hibernating recently, staying at home, watching bad movies and behaving like a lazy git.

Now the warm weather's back it's time for me to get out and about again... or at least drag myself to the local bookstore.

I'll be doing the first ever bookstore signing for "Undead on Arrival" at Barnes & Noble West Ashley, 1812 Sam Rittenburg Blvd, Charleston this Saturday January 12th at 2 p.m.

If you get the chance, please drop in and say hi!

Here's a blog post from Charleston City Paper's Arts & Entertainment editor, John Stoehr back in December '07 (sounds like a long time ago, doesn't it?):

"Be sure to check out Nick Smith’s review of an old-school screen printing show at 52.5. The exhibit, set among racks of CDs and punk ‘zines, runs through Dec. 31. And while you’re at it, Mr. Nick has a new novel out called Undead on Arrival.

"The official launch party was earlier this month at The Black Cart. He’ll do a book signing and reading on Jan. 12 at 2 p.m. Barnes & Noble, 1812 Sam Rittenberg Blvd. Smith, evidently a lover of Felis silvestris catus, is also the author Milk Treading and The Kitty Killer Cult. For more information, call the bookstore at (843) 556-8979 or go to http://arts.ccpblogs.com/2007/12/19/journal-screen-printing-101-and-mr-nick/www.bn.com."

Undead's Out... In Blighty

According to Amazon, Undead on Arrival has just been released in the UK.

No news from my publisher, Luath Press. No advance reviews. But the novel's available for purchase on Amazon.co.uk.
