Northampton Reading!

Hey, so it looks like I'm reading during Pride week in Northampton at Pride&Joy on Sunday, May 2. And that means that the book should be showing up in the store there soon, before the official publication date. I hope Flaunt It! shows up in force, and everybody else, too! Stay tuned for details...

And I just got a great review from Richard Labonte's syndicated column, BookMarks -- the April 26 column. The review begins, "The magic of this elegant novel is that it embraces both the surreal and the so real with sublime charm."

Whenever anybody even comes close to bringing up the sublime in reference to my work, it makes me very happy. Wheeheee, here goes...

Lovely -- just send your contact info and I'll ask the publisher to send one along. Don't worry if it doesn't work out, but it's worth a try ... the book has really nice praise on the cover from Alice Sebold, Elizabeth McCracken and other folks that sometimes helps people/institutions who aren't usually interested in queer stuff get interested.

Great. Well, as you know, Santa Cruz has a huge queer population for a city our size, so we've reviewed queer books before. So we'll see. I'll email the info along.

Lovely!
