I’m going to be at Joseph-Beth Booksellers in Cincinnati’s Rookwood Pavilion for a book signing and discussion event next month. Here’s their events page with the announcement: http://www.josephbeth.com/AdultEvents.aspx I figured that, since Star Trek: The Original Series — The Face of the Unknown and my Analog novelette “Twilight’s Captives” were both coming out around the same time, it would be a good opportunity for a signing, and the folks at Joseph-Beth agreed. It’ll begin at 7 PM on Thursday, January 26th at 2692 Madison Road in Rookwood Pavilion (directions are here). This will be my first signing at J-B since the one I did for Only Superhuman three years before. I’ll be talking about the new book and story and answering questions, so hopefully my voice will be in better shape than it was last time. I expect there will be copies of some of my older books available as well.
Public appearance alert! I will be signing copies of THE LIBRARIANS AND THE LOST LAMP at The Maroon Hornet comic-book shop in Oxford, PA tomorrow night at 6 pm, as part of the town's First First art stroll.
A reminder to anyone in the Cincinnati area -- my Face of the Unknown signing at Joseph-Beth Booksellers is tonight at 7 PM!
