Signing at APOSTROPHE BOOKS

Here we go again - I'll be doing a book signing for GRID CITY OVERLOAD at Apostrophe Books in Long Beach on Sunday Aug. 26 from 11:30am-1:30pm. Stop by to say hi if you'd like, it'd be great to see some people I know. Also a great chance to check out another great independent book shop in the city.

Aug 14 Gatsby Books Reading Recap

[Thank you so much to everyone who attended the reading at Gatsby Books on Aug 14. Everything went well: I didn't have a panic attack, everyone got pretty drunk if not irrefutably drunk, and all kinds of books were purchased (some were even mine). Here's a photo recap of the night provided by Lindsey Ingram, a friend of mine who was nice enough to cover the event. Check her out on blogspot here - http://lindseying.blogspot.com/ - and enjoy the photos.]

PICS OF THE READING

GCO available for purchase at Downtown Darling

Another store where copies of GRID CITY OVERLOAD can now be purchased: Downtown Darling. It's a salon and boutique run by Sandra Pimentel, and it's pretty badass. A great place to hang out, get your hair cut, buy clothes, get information, discuss Marxism, trade for goods and services, or ring in the New Year. Thank you to this business and Sandra for her support and contribution to Long Beach.
