Infante's Inferno - The new books, the readings, etc. ...

06:57 pm - The new books, the readings, etc. ...

First off, I want to say "thank you" to everybody who sent their warm congratulations about the book arriving. You are wonderful, wonderful people, and the amount of support we've gotten from our friends has made having two of us putting out books at the same time much, much more bearable. You people rock.

So, for those just tuning in, there are two brand-new books out from our household: The Constant Velocity of Trains by Lea Deschenes, and City of Insomnia by Victor D. Infante. Both of these books are out by the wicked cool Write Bloody Publishing, whose most recent marketing slogan is "Sex, Books and Rock 'N' Roll. But mostly books." Is it any wonder how much we love these people?

Both books are can be ordered just about everywhere: Amazon, Borders, Barnes & Noble or wherever it is you habitually buy books, as well as on the shelves at Worcester's most awesome comic book shop, That's Entertainment, because they are our boys and they look out for us. Of course, as is always the case with Small Presses, it's still better if you buy it directly from Write Bloody Publishing.

The other thing you can do is show up at one of these fine readings:
