What a fantastic launch party! There were readings from yours truly, the always entertaining Danny Gardner, and of course, the star of the show himself, S. W. Lauden with the launch of his second Greg Salem book GRIZZLY SEASON by Rare Bird Books. Then we were entertained with an acoustic set from the talented Jeff Whalen of the band Tsar (which Steve plays drums for). Thanks to Steve and Book Show for throwing such a fabulous shindig.

Reading from my short story “Besties and Blow” which will be in the upcoming 80s FAST WOMEN, NEON NOIR anthology by Short Stack Books.

Sounds like a good time was had by all! š

It was a fantastic time! Steve always includes other artists at his launch parties which is such a great idea. And hey, thanks for the reblog! š
You’re very welcome! As you’ve probably figured out, I mainly use my “personal” wordpress blog to reblog for others. Motive Means Opportunity eats up most of my “blogging” time/effort. I’m under a deadline for the fifth Mac McClellan mystery (#4 is already set to go for Jan. 15, 2017). #5 is due out June 1. So, I might be forced to cut back on my participation in supporting others’ blogs for a while. If you happen to notice me missing, or simply “liking” your posts for the next couple of months, you’ll know why! š
Question/request: would you be interested in providing a “blurb” for DEADLY SPIRITS (Mac #4, Jan. 15?). I’d sure appreciate it. I have ebook ARCs available now in .mobi, .epub, and .pdf. Of course you wouldn’t have to read the entire book, just enough to familiarize yourself with the storyline. Let me know, please. š
