Guerilla Reading in *NYC* this Saturday!
Dearly Beloved You All,
This weekend, I’ve decided to leave palm-tree infested Boston for the rugged boreal forest that is Greater New York. I hear the Queens wood elk can been seen this time of year, along with the Yonkers moose, the Lower East Side Woodrat, and the tight-pantsed Williamsburg hipster.
I also have heard that there’s a bumping SFF community in the NYC forest and that putting together a reading amid the evergreens could be fun. So tuck in your flannel, pull up your suspenders, hum the Monty Python’s Lumberjack Song and stop by.
Saturday, August 7th at 4pm
Participants : Laura Anne Gilman, David Barr Kirtley, Saladin Ahmed, & Yours Truly
Door Prizes: Copies of The Living Dead edited by JJ Adams, a copy of Flesh and Fire by LA Gilman, and a copy of Spellwright
Lurkers: Peter V. Brett
Borders Books Columbus Circle (in the 2nd story of the mall)
It’ll be a casual event, featuring local SFF authors reading, signing, or drinking a pint of beer afterwards.
But Blake, you say, I am stuck in the taxi-choked metropoli of Northern Nevada, the Oklahoma panhandle, and/or Saskatchewan. For you, my city slicker friend, I offer a ray of entertainment from the Fantasy Writing Bad Cop to my Good Cop, the indomitable Sam Sykes.

Personally, I think you should go with the blonde.

Aaanyway. I have long been a believer that Wales should be an island. An island with the means to move around the world Noah’s Island style*. That way, I could put in a petition and have the country shipped across the North Atlantic, and I could DRIVE to things like this.

I also vote for Wales to be an drivable island. And when reality turns it self inside out so that can happy, you should bring it all the way around to San Francisco Bay, because everyone knows the Welsh love palm trees.

It had to be Saturday, huh? If it were on Sunday I could have actually made it as I am currently in the US and somewhat nearby. Do you have any event planned for the following day in NY?

Oh no! How frustrating to miss you by a day. I have no event on Sunday, but I will be in Manhattan if you’d like to meet up at a coffee shop for a quick book signing and chat. Lemme know!

That would be awesome except I’m afraid to commit to a one-on-one meet-up because I have so many other things to do as well (though none will be as much fun). Thanks anyways and I hope you have a great time in Boston. It’s one of my favorite cities.

Lurkers, LOL. Wish I could make it. Why isn’t Salt Lake City attractive to literary events of any kind? 🙂
