Upcoming Events
What a busy couple of weeks--and this is supposedly my vacation.
The reading at Book Warehouse went really well. Thanks to Mary Anne and James at Book Warehouse's Main Street location; E.R. Brown and R.J. Harlick, for letting me read with them; and everyone who came out to the reading. I got to meet some great local authors like Janie Chang, and connect with old acquaintances in the crime writing field like D.B. Carew and Merrilee Robinson. Very cool.
I will be doing readings and appearances and signings and making a general nuisance of myself throughout the fall. Here are the dates that have been confirmed so far:
Saturday, August 30th: The official release date for LAST OF THE INDEPENDENTS, though some bookstores are already stocking it.
Tuesday, September 2nd: LAST OF THE INDEPENDENTS book launch at the Shebeen Whisky Room, 212 Carall.
Saturday, September 13th: Reading at Pulp Fiction books, Main Street location. 7-9 pm. Details to come.
Saturday, September 27th: West Vancouver Memorial Library event with Robin Spano, E.R.
Brown and Owen Laukkanen.
Sunday, September 28th: WORD Vancouver (formerly Word on the Street). I'll be at the Crime Writers of Canada table in the Vancouver Public Library central branch along with Dietrich Kalteis, 3-5 pm.
Tuesday, November 4th: Vancouver's second Noir at the Bar. Details to come.
Thursday, November 13th to Sunday, November 16th: Bouchercon in Long Beach, California. I'll be in attendance.
I'm also trying to schedule some events in Seattle, Bellingham, Portland, Nanaimo, Sidney, Victoria, Kelowna, Langley, Surrey, and New Westminster.
In the meantime, look for LAST OF THE INDEPENDENTS at your local bookstore. If it's not stocking it, ask them to. And please, if you read the book and enjoy it, review it on Amazon.ca,Amazon.com, Amazon.co.uk, Chapters/Indigo, Goodreads, Library Thing, and any other site. A positive rating and an "I enjoyed this book!" comment take a few minutes to post, and that kind of digital word-of-mouth makes a hell of a difference. Thank you.
