My Hold Still book party and reading at the Maitland Art Center is tonight! The reading has been moved indoors, so look for me in the Marvel Building next to the outdoor reading room (which looks suspiciously like a carport) where I had planned to read. I’ll be the Literature Out Loud part of the Culture Pop event called “Roll, Repeat,” about printmaking, which will include a loud steamroller creating art prints along Packwood Avenue. I’m moving inside so I won’t have to shout (but I will still shout if I feel like it). And yes, my friends, there will be a band. What more could you want? Alcohol? You got it. We’ll have a cash bar.
The event is from 7 to 11 p.m., and series host Stacy Barton will kick it off with a short reading at 7:30. Then I’ll read twice: at about 8 and 8:45, with a short break about halfway through so you can refresh your drink and stretch your legs. After my second reading, I’ll sign books. Admission to Culture Pop is $5 and includes one free beer, glass of wine or soda. Don’t miss this!
I’ll be at the Locally Grown Words Book Fair at East End Market in Orlando’s Audubon Park next weekend with plenty of copies of Beauty Lessons, Flame and Behind Every Door for sale (Hold Still will not be out till March). Signed books make great holiday gifts, and dozens of local authors will be on hand. The event will be Sunday, Dec. 15, from noon to 4 p.m., at 3201 Corrine Drive. I hope to see you there. And it gets even better — a new independent bookstore, Bookmark It, is opening next month at East End Market. It will specialize in local authors.
Come celebrate the birth of my fourth book and help me kick off the spring season of Literature Out Loud’s Culture Pop series, which will be outdoors at the Maitland Art Center. It’s a lovely place my son and I used to explore during bike rides when we lived in Maitland, and I’ll read in the outdoor reading room. The evening’s theme will be “Roll, Repeat,” and it will feature the art of printmaking, with an art exhibit. And yes, my friends, there will be a cash bar. And a band!
Friday, March 14 — 7 to 11 p.m.
