Saturday AM, I hopped bright and early into my car with three boxes of books for the annual Rainbow Book Fair, which Daniel Kitchens has been doing a great job of running these past few years. It's always an enjoyable outing, and - like last year - David Stein and I split costs on a table. As lucj would have it, the vendor next to us failed to show, so we expanded our space.




Perfect Bound Press is David's company, I list mine as Black Leather Bookshelf. There were an awful lot of folks there this year, including this year's "get," Samuel R Delaney, Sci-Fi and kinky writer. (You think I'm kidding? Read "Hogg" someday.) he has a new novel about Rural Gay America out, which I picked up and had autographed.



Another author friend was there, Christopher Trevor.



As per usual, lots of friends arrived to say hello and pick up some books. My buddy Colonel Al propped in to show off his workout improved figure.


All in all, a good day. I think that David and I sold enough to have made some profits, but I was ready to head for home. I'm psyched to catch the premier of "MadMen" later this week (it's on the DVR waiting for me).

Have a Great week, all.

Glad it was good for you.
Thanks for the into to Samuel R. Delany ... his books sound very interesting. I'll be on the lookout for Neveryon now

Oh Damn oh damn oh damn! Is "Through the Valley of the Nest of Spiders" FINALLY out? Amazon still doesn't have copies. I've been waiting a couple years for this - through the bankruptcy of one publisher, leading to a 15-month delay while a new publisher picked it up...

Delany is a god, as far as I'm concerned. A GOD, I say!

I read a version of the first (?) chapter in an anthology a few years ago. I'm interested to hear what you think.
