Launches
In which I prove yet again how bad I am at titling these newsletters!
As the uninspired title of this newsletter suggests, there are a lot of launches to discuss this month, so let’s get right to it!
On April 9th, I had the New York City launch of my new novel The Mind Worms at Barrow’s Intense Tasting Room in Industry City, Brooklyn! It was a smashing success with a great crowd full of friendly faces!
My thanks go out to Sasha Graham for coordinating the event with Barrow’s and being an awesome host for the festivities!
Then, on April 15th, my dear friend Sarah Langan came to town for the New York City launch of her highly acclaimed new novel, A Better World, at the Strand!
It was a delight to see her again, and I can’t wait to dive into the new book. Sarah is one of the best writers out there!
Then, I boogied up to Boston for the New England book launch of The Mind Worms at Copper Dog Books in Beverly, MA on April 25th! It was wonderful to see so many longtime friends from conventions like Boskone and Necon there! I had a great time!
Many thanks to Jack Haringa for doing a Q&A with me, and unending thanks to Don Sullivan for driving us through insane Boston-area traffic up to Beverly!
Sneak Previews
Good news, everyone! (I always hear those words in Professor Farnsworth’s voice.) The Mind Worms audiobook is finally here!
I’m so lucky and grateful that it’s narrated by award-winning voice artist Linda Jones, who also narrated the audiobooks for The Hungry Earth and The Stone Serpent. She does such a great job bringing Dr. Laura Powell and the rest of the characters to life!
The Mind Worms audiobook is available from Audible, so look for it wherever you download your audiobooks, or you can purchase it on Amazon.
In the Flesh
There are a couple of events coming up where you can catch me:
On Tuesday, May 21st, at 7 PM, I’ll be one of the readers at the May Brooklyn Books & Booze reading, once again at Barrow’s Intense Tasting Room in Industry City, Brooklyn!
Other readers that night include M.M. De Voe, Matthew Kressel, and Christina Cooke!
It’s free and open to the public! Visit the Facebook event page for more information!

And another launch!
On Sunday, June 2nd, at 6 PM, I’ll be a featured reader at my good friend John C. Foster’s book launch for his new novel Hate House at Shade Bar NYC in the Village!
I was lucky enough to get a sneak peek at Hate House, and believe me, you’ve never read a haunted house novel like this one!
Joining me on stage at the launch will be M.M. De Voe (again!), Scott Adlerberg, Ben Francisco, and of course John C. Foster himself!
It’s free and open to the public! Visit the Facebook event page for more information!
