YSU-Ytown Reading Series
Just a brief announcement that I, along with my assistant Mona Lisi (yes, it’s her real name, and it’s awesome, isn’t it?), have been doing the work to start promoting awareness of a new YSU-Ytown Reading Series, a new monthly event (during the college school year) I’ve created to bridge university activities with the community…

The near future

Got lit?
If you’re in the mood for an evening of poetry, fiction and creative non-fiction, you should definitely check out next Tuesday’s readings that YSU’s Poetry Center has arranged. It’s a great line-up. I’ll be there for sure. Hope to see some of you locals, as well. On Tuesday, February 19, 2008 at 7:00 PM in…

Book Launch Photos
Some pics from the launch party are now in my flickr account. You can go there by clicking on “More Pics” link in the flickr box in the sidebar. These are just a few. I’m waiting to get a ton from one of the artists who was taking pictures all evening. So for now, here…

Schedule Change
Not sure if anyone reading this up around Cleveland was planning on attending my reading/signing at Mac’s Backs in Coventry, but just in case: the date has been changed to September 29th at 5 p.m. due to some scheduling conflicts. Coventry Crawl is also that day, I’m informed, which means a sidewalk sale of all…
