This previous Sunday, I was a featured reader at the Speakeasy at Swordfish Tom's in Kansas City. It was a terrific reading! Thank you to all who came out, and to Brandon and Jill for being such excellent hosts.

Best of all, I am sold out of my copies of A Food Court in Hell. I have more on order from the printer, so if you are interested in buying from me, I'll have copies available soon!
