How to find me at NY Comic Con Oct 9-12
NY Comic Con is a monster of an event, and I am lucky to be attending this year as a pro. As you know, the serial 13 Secret Cities has one more part to go, and that means I won’t have paperbacks available to sign at NY Comic Con!
But never fear.
I will gladly sign your Kindle, and I’d love to take a selfie together with you. Also, if we meet at NY Comic Con, I’ll add you to my list for you to receive a special 13SC gift when the paperback is out.
The best way to find me: Twitter. I will be tweeting my location often, and if you want to meet up, it’s as simple as a tweet. I tweet from @13SecretCities.
I’ll probably be in cosplay, so be ready!

Life updates and NY Comic-Con Schedule
First, a quick life update: Life update: I started a new job this week as Managing Editor at The Wirecutter. This team is diverse, incredibly talented, and I am very excited for the future with them. Here’s a short description from its About page:
The Wirecutter is a list of the best gadgets—like cameras and TVs—for people who don’t want to take a lot of time figuring out what to get. And the Sweethome is our version of The Wirecutter focused on home goods like bedsheets, blenders, duct tape, and screwdrivers.
Consider it a Billboard for electronics and every day things. The point is to make it easier for you to buy some great gear quickly and get on with your life.
Also, be sure to meet up with me at NY Comic Con October 9-12 at Javits Center in New York City. I will be meeting up with readers and autographing Kindles, since the paperback of 13 Secret Cities doesn’t arrive until November.

Star Killer Star Author Eyre Price
Author Eyre Price is back! You heard him on episode 34 of the Labyrinth, when his debut novel “Blues Highway Blues” had just launched. Now he’s back, two more novels later, to tell us about writing, music, and more. Now he’s back in the Labyrinth Video Channel with me.

Open invite for writers for the next #13SC Party
Our first #13SC release party in June at Secret Clubhouse in Brooklyn was a blast. We drank beer and cocktails, and I scared the pants off a few audience members during my reading of part 2 of The 13 Secret Cities.
We are already planning a second party in September (the weekend after Labor Day), and we would like to invite writers to read together with me at the next party! We are looking for:
Fiction writers. No specific genre required. This event is open to all kinds of artists.
Non-fiction writers. Essay, spoken word, and great storytellers welcome
Self-publishing professionals who would be willing to do a short Q&A on facets of self publishing.
The themes we’re looking for at this event are: JOURNEYS and/or the color BLUE. Yep, if your story touches on either of these themes, we want you there. Your reading should be no longer than 10-12 minutes long.
If you’re interested, please send an email to me @ cesartorres.net (use the subject line #13SC readers) or use our contact form.
Cesar Torres’ debut novel, “The 13 Secret Cities” launched April 28 in the Kindle Store. In “13SC”, Clara Montes, a college student in Chicago, survives a violent political riot in Millennium Park. To atone for the bloody events that transpire at the riot, Clara must travel to the mythical city of Mictlán, deep in the realm of the dead. AVAILABLE NOW ON AMAZON
