It's been a great week here at
Badge central. I'm getting lots of comments from people digging
Badge, and it really feels wonderful. I work on these things for so long, it's almost surprising when someone comments on it. For a second I'm like, "How do they know that?"
Anyway, love the comments. Please keep them coming, and feel free to review
Badge at GoodReads. That's very helpful to me at this stage.
For you ebook fanatics, I have great news.
Badge is now available for your Kindle devices. That's a week before its publication date!
Get yours now!
Also, I need to start prepping you for a
Badge-related Portland event coming up in just
nine days:
It's on Wednesday, Feb. 5th, at everyone's favorite NE Portland bookstore
Broadway Books. I'll be taking the podium with two really amazing Portland writers/people:
Monica Drake, whose
The Stud Book is a must-read for those who love our fair city; and
Mark Russell, whose
God is Disappointed in You might be the most important book you read this year. And the best part is,
all writers will have a multimedia element to their reading/presentation! This will not be boring.
Badge aside, it will be kind of a special day for me. It's been over a decade since my last reading at a Portland bookstore. Here's a photo of that day.
Were any of you at this reading at 23rd Avenue Books in August 2003? There were 12 of you (yes, I counted).
So, plan on Wednesday 2/5 at Broadway Books at 7 PM. (Free!) I'll be the one with the perma-grin.
Yours in laying down the law,
Art
