Where I’ll Be
In a million years I never thought I’d actually publish a schedule of places where I can be found, but so it is these days. So for anybody to whom I might owe money–or worse, feel free to stalk me at the following gigs.
Saturday, October 3rd and Sunday October 4th I’m presenting Web 2.0 Strategies and Tactics for Authors and Publishers at PodCamp Philly 2009.
Saturday, October 3rd I’ll be appearing at Moravian Book Shop from 5:00-7:00 p.m.
Meet Liars Marie Lamba, Kelly Simmons, Gregory Frost, Dennis Tafoya, Merry Jones, Jon McGoran , Keith Strunk, Don Lafferty and Jonathan Maberry. Details are still coming in so we’ll be in touch, or you can contact Moravian Book Shop at 610-866-8330.
October 17th, join me and my Philly Liars Club buds, Gregory Frost, Marie Lamba and Kelly Simmons at Rosemont College for Philadelphia Stories’ Push to Publish 2009: Strategies and Techniques to Get Your Work in Print and Online.

November 7th, noon-3 pm, The Philly Liars Club will be throwing a very special “Liars Tell the Truth about Womrath’s Bookstore” held at Womrath’s Bookstore, 12 Washington Street, Tenafly, NJ. It’s in celebration of this store’s 60th anniversary. The festivities are free and everyone is welcome to come enjoy our “Truth or Lie” games, great giveaways, and chillin’ with me and the writers, who will be signing their books: Marie Lamba, Dennis Tafoya, Jon McGoran (aka D.H. Dublin), Ed Pettit, Keith Strunk, Gregory Frost, Jonathan Maberry, Merry Jones, Kelly Simmons, William Lashner.
December 5th, I’ll be appearing with the Philly Liars Club at Wellington Square Bookshop in Exton, PA. Join me and Jonathan Maberry, Kelly Simmons, Marie Lamba, Keith Strunk, Gregory Frost,m Merry Jones, Dennis Tafoya and Jon McGoran as we welcome this new Indie to the neighborhood. Time TBD.
Wellington Square Bookshop, a local player in the used, collectible and rare book markets, has undergone a recent expansion to include new titles. More to come.
On December 17th, join me and the Philly Liars Club as we add a little insanity of our own to the holiday madness.
On Saturday December 12th we’ll be having a very special, two-timing holiday event in New Hope, PA as we party with our old friends at Farley’s Book Shop, and new friends at Canterbury Tales around the corner in Peddler’s Village. We arrive at 11:00 am and finish up at 7:00, making this our longest party yet.
Liars LA Banks, Marie Lamba, Jonathan Maberry, Gregory Frost, Merry Jones, Dennis Tafoya, Keith Strunk, and Don Lafferty will spend the day bouncing back and forth, between these two indies. I gotta believe spiked holiday beverages will have to be part of this gig.
Here’s the rotation, but we expect the area to be packed with holiday shoppers and revelers, so the times on this schedule may fall to pieces depending on the way the day plays out.
