A Drinkable Feast: Bloomsday Edition

Originally appeared at the Weekly Alibi...stuck HERE for all you out-of-town types to enjoy!

Lost Weekend...

Let there be BEER! For those who don’t know, Albuquerque is cranking out some pretty darn good beers these days. I drank my way through a grip of them and wrote about it HERE. You’re welcome!

10% of AUDIO Precincts Reporting...

...and already the A Deep & Gorgeous Thirst Audio Book is in great voice! With 30+ readers from Oregon to Spain, kids to septuagenarians, it’s shaping up to be a damn fine listen! 

And for those of you with eReading devices, we are also hard at work making an eBook...though we have no official release date for either.

Otherwise, work continues on the first novella, Chinese Gucci. Though much remains to be done, with any luck, I’ll have a draft I’m happy with by the end of this year.

Happy Mother’s Day, all you lovely moms!

Précis of Genius

The Talented Mr. Lally at Pig Ear Press was kind enough to solicit something for his fantastic Suitcase Library Project, part of the “Making Connections” exhibition held at the ONCA Gallery last summer in Brighton, UK.

I wrote poems about artists, and specific pieces they made. I have a desperate few copies of the 26 letterpress, numbered copies made. If you’re interested in and you’re in North America, e-mail me HERE. If you’re in Europe, get hold of Mr. Lally himself HERE.

Signed Copies Now Available

As of this week I’ve added SIGNED COPIES of some of the book’s to the website. Now, using the contact link on each respective book’s page, you can buy a signed copy of MARCHING, WRETCHED, and/or THIRST right here, easy as 1-2-3.

Simply drop us an E-mail with the book(s) you want + your mailing location (so we can work out a decent price for shipping, as some of the overseas prices are extraordinarily insane), and we’ll get it handled. We can Paypal or ever run a card via Square! So if you’ve given away your tattered copy, of A Deep & Gorgeous Thirst to a sweet ol’ rumpot, or lost your copy of Marching Unabashed Into The Weeping, Searing Sun on a ferry to Vancouver Island...well, you’re in luck!

Making Connections 7-Day Blog Tour!

Okay -- so it’s a little on the nose, but during the week leading up to St. Patrick’s Day, the Goodreads group Making Connections will host a week-long blog tour for A DEEP & GORGEOUS THIRST. We’ve got a whole host of ideas in the hopper, across all kinds of social media -- were talking live-tweet a drunken trivia shootout, a G-chat on memoir as mythology, video blogs tracking every drink over a weekend, a chinwag about the so-called literary bad boy, and even a video that’ll teach you how to make the official DunkSkull Bloody Mary. You can keep track of all the stops HERE. And just about any and all participation will earn you an entry in a giveaway for a DrunkSkull Survival Kit...because who loves ya, baby?
