Future heartbreak, future headaches, wide-eyed nights late lying awake with future cold shakes
Rabbit, rabbit! It's August and I have a book coming out in less than a week! Have some self-promotion.
Do you want to come to the launch party? It's at the Lovecraft Arts & Sciences Council in Providence on August 11th.
Do you want to hear me read on radio? I'll be on WBAI's Hour of the Wolf on August 23rd.
Do you want to hear me read in person? I'll be at Pandemonium Books & Games in Cambridge on August 30th.
Further events to be added as they are confirmed.
(It was August yesterday too, but I spent the day working and my evening nowhere near a computer. As a way to inaugurate a hoped-for better month, I strongly recommend splitting a bucket of fried chicken at the Frogmore in Jamaica Plain, walking to the MFA to catch a half-hour of propaganda postcards, and then returning home to watch a pretty damn pre-Code movie. I hope to write about the latter. It was called Loose Ankles (1930) and it looked like it was subverting tropes we hadn't realized were even codified then. I love this era of movies.)

I hope you enjoy it! Also, leftover pulled pork sounds great. Also, I am so glad the hostessing worked out. It sounded like a wonderful time.
And when are you coming to western Mass?
I hope soon! I will let you know as soon as I have dates from my publisher.

Loose Ankles is such a pre-Code film title.

Thank you!
Loose Ankles is such a pre-Code film title.
We kind of watched it for the title and were rewarded. "Genderswapped gold-digging inheritance sex comedy" is not where I thought we were going, but we did.

Based on the song which opens the movie, it seems to be a slightly risqué way to boast about one's dancing prowess.

Well, tune in from Toronto!
If desired, our house is still available for staying over purposes, if other plans don't work out.
That is a very kind offer. I think I would prefer to stay at your house when you are in it to visit with.
