Eric Jerome Dickey

On Wednesday, August 26th, eleven time New York Times bestselling author Eric Jerome Dickey launched the publicity tour for his latest novel, Resurrecting Midnight, at Books & Books. The exciting event was packed with over one hundred adoring fans, which was not hard to understand once Eric took his place at the podium at Hollywood Theatres, where the wildly popular author held his book discussion. The demand to hear Eric speak about his book was so overwhelming that a larger venue to be arranged to accommodate the crowds! Eric is warm, friendly and very entertaining as a public speaker and he interacted frequently with his mostly-female audience. Dickey began his discussion by asking the audience which of his 12 novels they would most like to hear an excerpt from. One enthusiastic fan jumped up from her seat to offer her treasured copy of the The Other Woman. After reading a lengthy romantic passage from The Other Woman (amid many deep sighs from the audience) Dickey briefly introduced Resurrecting Midnight. He began his very first public reading of the new novel, which was released the previous day. What an honor for the Cayman Islands that he chose us! We were all enthralled as Eric offered a sneak peak into the steamy new thriller featuring sexy international assassins, Gideon and Arizona. Dickey then answered as many questions as he could before heading over to Books & Books for the book signing. More than 100 excited fans lined up and waited for their chance to meet the popular author, get a photo, and get their books signed. I watched Eric as he met dozens of his fans and he obviously enjoys this interaction; this is what makes him “tick”.

The event is yet another success in Books & Books Visiting International Author Series, sponsored by Sunshine Suites and Ogiers.
