photovent 2010, day 2: hope (and a little book news -- including a lounge. of chocolate.)

 Speaking of hope, I hope that I'll see those of you who live in Houston at the book launch on Thursday, December 2nd, at Brazos Bookstore.  You can find out all about it here.

But there's more!  My amazing friend Maile has cooked up a book signing/reading/appearance for me at a VERY cool spot in San Antonio -- the Coco Chocolate Lounge.  Yes, you read that right:  a lounge whose theme is based around chocolate.  In fact, there's going to be -- wait for it -- a chocolate fountain. 

I don't think I need explain why I consider Maile a friend, do I? I didn't think so.

Anyway, if you're going to be in San Antonio on Thursday, December 9th, please come!  All the info:

(Stay tuned for the next city announcement, hopefully soon.  A hint: if all goes as planned -- and hoped -- it'll be all coffee and flying fish up in here.)

And finally, just so you know, I visited the Bright Sky Press warehouse this past Friday, and all of the books are in, and were already being packaged to be sent out!  So if you ordered directly from Bright Sky, you should be getting your book very shortly, if you haven't already.  If you ordered from Amazon, it shouldn't be long now -- but unfortunately, I have absolutely no control or contacts with Amazon, so I can't tell you definitively when they will ship. 

And with that, I'm back to work.  Have an awesome day, everyone.
