Book Launch Celebration for The Embassy Ball
Author John R. Teevan III has published two books during COVID, but it doesn't look like the libraries will be able to host an author's talk in-person any time soon. So why not do one online? This has the advantage that friends around the world can sign in, which would not be possible if the event were in Albany in-person. I travel a lot, and to accommodate friends around the world on different time zones, I'm doing two events. Same readings from The Embassy Ball, but the audience may have different questions for the Q&A. You're welcome to attend one or both or whichever is most convenient for your time zone:
Sat. Jan. 16 at 8pm EST (New York time)
Sun. Jan. 17 at 1pm EST (New York time)
Jitsi not Zoom
It's through Jitsi, which is like zoom but Jitsi does not have a time limit and is free. You don't need to download software, just click on the link below at the time. Works best on a computer, but you can also use on your phone, just be sure to download the Jitsi app ahead of time if you use phone. Computer is easiest: just click on the link in your browser:

Recording the Online Author's Talk
I will try to record the author's talk and, if it comes out well, will post on my YouTube channel. So there is the possibility that your image may be part of the recording. Feel free to let me know if this is a problem. And you can turn off your video if you want. PLEASE MUTE YOURSELF WHEN YOU'RE NOT ASKING A QUESTION. Background noise will mess with the recording and switch screens to whoever is making the loudest noise. I will try to mute people if I need to, but may be busy reading from my book.

The Embassy Ball is a collection of short stories that mix genres of historical fiction, romance, spy fiction and comedy. You can find some of the stories from The Embassy Ball here:

Ordering a Copy
No purchase necessary, I would be delighted for you to attend this free event to celebrate my book launch. If you want a copy of the book, you can order The Embassy Ball on Amazon and Kindle:
https://www.amazon.com/Embassy-Ball-John-Teevan-III/dp/1707916810/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=embassy+ball&qid=1609443151&sr=8-1
Book Signing
If you want your book autographed, then I guess that just gives us an excuse to meet up and catch up after COVID is over so I can sign your book with a personalized message.
Hope you can come on Jan. 16/17!
