The Moravian Book Shop in Bethlehem, PA, is the oldest bookstore in America. Founded in 1745, the Moravian Book Shop is the oldest continuously operating bookstore in the world and home to the Moravian University student bookstore. For nearly three centuries, booklovers near and far have looked to the Moravian Book Shop for its curated selection of books and iconic Moravian- and Bethlehem-themed gifts.

I have been honored in the past to be welcomed into such a prestigious establishment as an independent author. I will be returning to Bethlehem, PA, on Saturday, July 17, from 1-3pm. This will be an opportunity for me to present my award-winning fantasy/steampunk series The Last Magus. The saga of Marcus Gideon, the Last Magus of Attlain, takes you on his journey of discovery. Left for dead at a crossroads, stabbed through the heart, Gideon awakens with a clockwork heart in his chest. With no memories of his past to guide him, Gideon starts on a journey of self-discovery as a Magus. These legendary warrior/wizards were considered outcasts in Attlain, so Gideon must tackle the prejudices of a world he knows nothing about.

The Last Magus: A Clockwork Heart and The Last Magus: Dragonfire and Steel leads you into the latest chapter in the saga of Marcus Gideon, The Last Magus: Demon Song. In the haunted ruins of Nyx, the demon sorceress Vasileesa Morozov has found a way to escape the cursed island and plans to release a new demon horde. Nyx was once the center of civilization, but centuries ago, the Demon Spire erupted from its heart, spreading corruption and turning the city into a place of nightmares. The Demon Spire is not just a monument; it connects the demonic realm to the mortal world and gives power to those who seek its dark magic. Now that the demons are free from their prison, all of Attlain faces their relentless hunger. Gideon and the Silver Moon Guild race across Attlain to discover the sorceress’s plans to create a new Demon Spire and bring chaos to the world. As they get closer to the truth, they uncover secrets that put Gideon’s family in grave danger and threaten to erase the legacy of the LAST MAGUS. Everything Gideon has fought for, including his own life, is at risk.

The Moravian Book Shop continues to offer its iconic book section that features indie best sellers, trade books, and select books highlighting the history of Moravians, Bethlehem, Bethlehem Steel, the Lehigh Valley and Pennsylvania. In addition, the Moravian Book Shop sells and buys back student textbooks. The Book Shop stocks Moravian University apparel and gift items, reference books, children’s books, greeting cards, toys and games. The inventory also includes traditional Moravian- and Bethlehem-themed gifts and university faculty- and alumni-authored books.

Being originally from nearby Phillipsburg, NJ, and my wife from Bethlehem, we still have plenty of family and friends in the Lehigh Valley. I love coming home to see everyone and present my latest books to readers. I hope you’ll stop by and pick up my new books. Check out my Events page for a listing of all my author events.
