I took a trip to Brooklyn, New York earlier this week to take part in the latest installment of Brooklyn Books & Booze, which takes place the third Tuesday of each month at Barrow’s Intense Tasting Room. I was joined that night by three other readers — Yume Kitasei, Fran Wilde, and Victor Pineiro.

It was my first chance to talk up and read from my new science fiction short story collection 101 Things to Do Before You’re Downloaded, out this month from PS Publishing. The reason that book cover is so large in my hands is because that isn’t a book I’m holding, as copies haven’t made their way to me quite yet, but a collapsible poster, which I think pops far better in these photos at that larger size than the book itself would have.

If you weren’t in the room Tuesday, you can still hear me read the collection’s introduction, as well as one of the 13 stories inside — “The Lessons Only a Jelly Bean CanTeach.”

Enjoy!
