Astoria Event Alert:

The folks at BuzzerThirty have asked me to participate in a reading at Waltz-Astoria Café on:

Thursday, September 11
8:00 pm

Also scheduled to appear:
Singer-songwriter Val Turner
Poet Eliot Katz

The date is 9/11 but the event is not directly related. However, when I was asked, the request came with this proviso: “I figured you might offer an interesting perspective on the anniversary.” (So much for me reading a perverted excerpt from my novel, huh?)

Note: My presentation will not be the same as in my recent talks

Please save the date and/or spread the word far and wide
