Edward C. Patterson held the first ever Digital Book Signing and Reading last Sunday.

On Sunday August 24, 2008, Edward C. Patterson read an excerpt from his New Published Book, Surviving an American Gulag, a live broadcast from a Webinar over the internet.  Invitations for the signing were posted on Mr. Patterson’s forums and sent through email by the Author.

After a rough start, the reading came across clear and well read with a dramatic flair of characterization.  Sgt. Gonvea came across as a pushy no guff drill master while Lenny warmed the hearts of listeners with his simplicity.  Private Gibbs, the protagonist of American Gulag, thrilled the listeners while a voice defined the bewildered character.

The Audience was introduced to Patterson’s other works and had access to a web site where they were able to print a authentic collectible E-Book Cover.  A special discount to purchase Surviving an American Gulag was also offered to those in attendance.

Mr. Patterson was asked questions by the audience through Webinar’s technological features: chat, microphone, and telephone.

Private Gibbs, his favorite character, was based on Edward C. Patterson’s life experiences in the military. A story the military would prefer remain lost.

As an “Indie” or Independent author and traditional author, Mr. Patterson encouraged new authors by telling them to write, write, read, and write some more. Every contemporary author should have a foot in both processes- “Indie” publishing as well as “dead tree” publishing.

He answered the question about his forthcoming book, Turning Idolator, by declaring it will be out in October.

There was such an enthusiastic response towards Mr. Patterson’s reading that a return engagement was scheduled for the following Tuesday evening with an encore reading from Surviving an American Gulag.
