Your paradise is not my paradise.

Have you watched the book trailer yet? It would be awesome if you blogged about it or passed it on to a friend. The same goes for the book itself, which is available for purchase at your local independent bookstore. Oh look, here’s a link to one right here. And they are signed! So even if you are far away you can get a signed copy. The internet is MAGIC.

I have a short story for an anthology due in two weeks and I’m leaving town in ten days so updates will be light over here. I also have three readings coming up this week. Hope to see you at one of these wonderful events!

February 15 – New York, NY
Just Working on My Novel series @ The Tank, 7:30 PM

February 17 – Rhinebeck, NY
Oblong Books with Josh Ferris, 7:30 PM

February 18 – New York, NY
