Resurrection House @ Between Books


The signing at Between Books went very well, despite some heavy rain (we almost had to row through part of south Jersey) and a slow Sunday time slot. A decent group of folks turned out at the shop. Even better, most of them sat still through the various author readings! I read a selection from "Resurrection House," the title story of my short story collection, which got a great response. Snacks and soda were enjoyed by all.

The haul this time: And the Angel with Television Eyes by John Shirley in hardcover for me, and a stuffed Krypto toy and Flash Chronicles volume 1 for the young'uns.

Will post more pics later this week.

Book Signing

Tomorrow I will be appearing at Between Books in Claymont, Delaware for a book signing between 1 and 4 p.m. Between Books is the coolest bookstore ever, no exaggeration. The first time I was there I found a David Schow collection and two Dennis Etchison collections I'd been trying to dig up for more than 10 years. (Okay, I wasn't trying very hard, but still...) And those were only the tip of an iceberg made up of cool, rare books, comics, and graphic novels that fill the stacks of Between Books. Greg, the proprietor, is a great guy, and he's kindly surrendering some space to me, CJ Henderson, Danielle Ackley-McPhail, and Mike McPhail to meet with readers, do some readings, and hopefully sell some books. So, if you're in the neighborhood, drop by. The location is 2703 Philadelphia Pike, Claymont, Delaware.

Regular blog entries will resume shortly!
