Upcoming Readings

So, the big day is upon me. May 1 is the pub date for my book.

On May 4 I will be reading at KGB Bar, 85 4th St, in the East Village. Also on tap will be Richard Grayson and Tao Lin. The reading starts at 7pm.

On May 6, I am thrilled to be part of the Sunday's at Sunny's series, at Sunny's Bar, 253 Conover St., Red Hook, Brooklyn. Gabriel Cohen, who created the series almost five years ago, will be reading from his new novel, Boombox. Peter Godwin, author of the memoir When a Crocodile Eats the Sun, will also be there. The reading starts at 3pm.

Sunny's is a real treasure, a slice of the old New York waterfront. I highly recommend it to anyone. Here's how to get there:

By bus: take the B61 toward Red Hook from Atlantic Ave. & Court St. (or from the A train midtrain exit at Jay Street Borough Hall). Get off near the end of the line at Van Brunt & Beard streets., walk 1 block right and 1/2 block left. Or take the B77 bus down 9th Street from Park Slope (or from the Smith and 9th Street F train stop--exit at the rear of the train and come down the stairs to street level and the corner bus stop.) Take the bus in the direction of Van Brunt Street and Red Hook.

If you're driving: From Manhattan, take the Brooklyn Bridge and get off at the Court Street exit--then take a left on Cadman Plaza West, which will turn into Court St. Go about a mile, past Atlantic Avenue, and take a right on Sackett Street. Continue straight for five blocks, across the overpass over the Brooklyn Queens Expressway, and take a left on Van Brunt Street. Continue down almost to the end of Van Brunt (you'll see the waterfront up ahead) and take a right on Reed Street. Go one block and take a right on Conover Street--you'll see a big sign that says BAR. That's Sunny's.

Then unexpectedly, I will be reading at Cornelia Street Café at 29 Cornelia St. in the West Village on Thursday, May 10, at 6pm, with several other Red Hen authors.

Manhattan Reading Scheduled

So I've confirmed that I will be part of a reading of Red Hen authors at KGB Bar in the East Village on May 4. It starts at 7pm and goes until 9pm.

The pub date is now less than a month away. Which means I have to step up the blogging, if nothing else.
