I’m in Massachusetts with my family for Thanksgiving (and desserts!). Hope yours is as wonderful.

I’ve also received the first shipment of Across the Universe, copies of which will be going in the mail to Kickstarter backers when I get back to New York.

And two reminders: Tuesday, December 3, starting at 6:30: the NYRSF Readings Series features Across the Universe, with me, editors Michael A. Ventrella and Randee Dawn, and authors  Matthew J. Amati, Charles Barouch, Keith R.A. DeCandido, Sally Weiner Grotta, Carol Gyzander, and Gordon Linzner in attendance, reading from their stories and available to sign copies of the book (there will be cake, too!). At the Brooklyn Commons Cafe, 388 Atlantic Avenue, Brooklyn, NY. For more details, see https://www.hourwolf.com/nyrsf/.

The following night, Wednesday, December 4, The Storehouse (69 West 23rd Street, Manhattan, New York) hosts their regular weekly night of trivia (questions start at 7:00). I’ve been attending on the first Wednesday of the month with Greater New York Mensa for a couple of years now, but this coming Wednesday, there will be a special event honoring the launch of the book. For more details on the place, see their web site (https://thestorehousenyc.com/). For more details on the book part of things, you’ll have to join us!
