Hi there,
PALACES was officially published last month! As such, there are a couple of reviews, etc that you can read if you're wavering (the full list is on the PALACES page elsewhere on this blog):
A launch at Bluestockings--
A discussion with Leni Zumas (Red Clocks) and Eugene Lim (Dear Cyborgs) at the NYPL--
Later this month, I'll be performing in Philadelphia at Gina's 45 with Carmen Maria Machado, Colin Winnette, Caren Beilin, and Cynthia Dewi Oka.
I'm also planning a short tour through the midwest (and one stop in San Francisco) for late March/early April (more details soon!).
As ever, if you're interested in learning more, reviewing or covering the book, etc, please get in touch! I am always up for readings et al and would probably love to perform with you.
If you see Palaces out at a bookstore or in the wild, let me know, and send a photo if possible! I am making a list.
ALSO:::: I'm opening for the psych-rock band Cricketbows at Wells and Co. in Dayton and I WOULD LOVE TO DO MORE STUFF LIKE THIS. INVITE ME TO YOUR BASEMENT GIGS!!
INVITE ME TO YOUR HARDCORE SHOWS ! !!
I HAVE A LOUD SPEAKING VOICE!!
In celebration of the book's launch, here is some secret behind-the-scenes content from the development of PALACES:
WORKING TITLES (some seriously considered, others not)
NEW MONEY, OLD MONEY
FOYER
LAWN
HIS REIGN ENDS
THRONE
PUNK ROCK
"AUTHORS WHO THINK THEY'RE DESIGNERS" SYNDROME
*an early cover concept that I submitted to Two Dollar Radio. I still love it but I understand that it's probably too bleak to ever be used (please also note my skillful integration of the TDR logo at bottom-right). I am also omitting the designs that exhibit blatant copyright infringement.
