Come see an indie author get booed - LIVE!
For anyone in the Boston area who wants to see an indie author embarrass himself by reading the first chapter of his book to a crowd that will hate it- you're in luck!
"Infinity Squad" is a military science fiction book with lots of innuendo, swearing, wisecracking, and action.
The author event I just got invited to might possibly be an older, wine-and-books, NPR-guns-are-evil, type of crowd. If that's true, they, besides Catholic nuns, might be the farthest from my target demographic as humanly possible. But I'm still going to read my first chapter to them with the same enthusiasm and energy as if I was addressing a crowd of rapt 14-30 year old sci-fi nerds.
It might be a wonderful train wreck. And you can come and watch.
It's on Sunday Feb 10th, (one week after Superbowl Sunday), starting at 3 PM at the Moska restaurant in Cambridge MA:

I'll be there signing printouts of my cover since indie authors can't afford print books and enduring the hate from people who came expecting poetry about flowers and got me instead.
Come say hello if you dare!
EDIT- okay, so the 8 feet of snow we got has delayed this event for now. Watch this space for updates.
DOUBLE EDIT- okay, so this was REscheduled for Sunday Feb. 24th, but since we're expecting a snowpocalyspe AGAIN, this has been rescheduled by the book club to INFINITY PLUS ONE days away. That's okay, when this finally does happen, I'll have the sequel ready to promote!
