What? Another Zoom launch? But you just had one

June is a busy month. Busy, busy, busy, as the Bokononists say.
It’s been so busy that I didn’t even get a chance to update this website blog until almost a week into the month. Still recovering from a ten-day jaunt in Nashville and other places in mid-May, performing poetry and seeing all the sights I could handle.

First up, this Friday:

I’ll be hosting a live Zoom chat with my friend Skylar J. Wynter and her artist, Neshka Turner, about their new collaborative book SHINE.
The only catch is: it starts at 6:00 p.m. Western Australia time. This means that those of us in North America have to get up at a silly time to catch it (6:00 a.m. EST / 3:00 a.m. PST). If you’re in the U.K., you can watch if you’re not at work Friday morning (11:00 a.m.). Such is the complexity of globalization.

But it’s not the only Zoom event for which I have to get up at that time this month.
On July 1, Dragonfly Publishing is hosting a launch for both SHINE and my own novel, Hate Story. Hosted by Lisa Wolstenholme, with special guest performers Special K (from Richmond, Virginia) and Paul R. Kohn (from Perth).

I know – I already had a Zoom launch for Hate Story in March.
But while that was at a reasonable time for North America and Europe folks, it was at a silly time for Australians, and Dragonfly is an Australian press. So this will be at a more sensible Australian time.

But wait… there’s more!

This weekend, I’ll have a table at the famous Word On The Street outdoor book festival, which is back in Queen’s Park after a long pandemic absence.

Look for me in Indie Alley, at Booth E21A. I’ll be selling copies not only of Hate Story, but also of my 2015 CD This Album Is NIT FENNY!. Hopefully, for the love of Bob, it won’t rain. Here’s a map if you need it.
