Hi all,

I'm very excited about this reading. It's to promote Who Can Save Us Now? the anthology of new super-hero stories I have a story in. The reading/signing/general-discussion-of-superpowers will take place at the McNally Jackson Bookstore (which is a terrific bookstore, by the way). Here are the details:

The reading will take place
August 20th, 7pm @ McNally Jackson
52 Prince St. (btw. Lafayette & Mulberry)
featuring co-editors Owen King and John McNally,
contributors Kelly Braffet, Lauren Grodstein, and me

And here's a link to McNally Jackson: mcnally jackson link...

And here are some of the good reviews the book's got so far:

...These days, even as the superhero's caped shadow envelopes mass popular
culture, actual comic books and literary short fiction are both niche
markets for obsessive fans... "Who Can Save Us Now?" has heroic virtues such
that fans of either will find a lot to love.
--The NY Post

For those who wish to avoid the crush of "The Dark Night," this fresh,
imaginative collection provides a new way of looking at the world. These
superheroes have self-esteem issues or lucrative endorsement deals, are
plagued by post-traumatic stress disorder, neuroses and televangelists.
There is a light, clever touch to these 22 stories.
--"Editor's Choice," The Chicago Tribune

Fresh and fun, this collection is sure to please everyone from the classic
comics lover to the newbie Heroes fan.
