Hey, Look at Me! Resurrected Post.

May is a busy month for me this year. What is going on, you ask? You’ve come to the right place for answers.

My short story “Brava – or – the Fire Demon” is out, published by the fine folks at Swords and Sorcery Magazine. If you like sword and sorcery fiction, if you like reading your fiction in digital editions, then this one is for you. This is the second of my ‘Cesar the Bravo’ stories. The first one, “Bravo,” is available at whichever on-line book seller you frequent.

Yes, self-serving promotion. How degrading. Let’s stick with it.

May 9, beginning at 2PM, I’ll be signing copies of “Reunion” at the Tanasbourne Barnes and Noble Bookstore. It should be fun. I’ll be set up over by the childrens’ section, so even if nobody shows, I’ll be able to play with the blocks and the stuffed animals. I’m already a winner. But if you happen to be in the Portland metropolitan area that day, come by and say hello. I don’t bite. At least, not so often anymore; the therapy and medication are working wonders.

And wait, there is even more. If you can’t make the B&N signing, or if you prefer to enjoy an adult beverage at book signings, I’m also scheduled to sign copies of “Reunion” May 21, starting around 6:30, at Journeys, a terrific little pub in the Multnomah Village neighborhood of Portland. Come by, buy my book or buy me a beer. Or both. Both would be nice.

Afterwards you can walk across the street to the toy store. I’ll be in there playing with the blocks and the stuffed animals.
