Reading @ The Vonnegut Library tonight

This is my second month in a row reading at The Kurt Vonnegut Memorial Library in downtown Indy. Going to angle to become their cabaret reader. Maybe the others in tonight's lineup -- James Figy, Georgia Arnett, David Blomenberg, and Justin Heckert -- would be willing to join me. December's wide open, once the papers get graded and gifts get bought and fruitcakes get baked. Does one bake a fruitcake? I've never known.

The reading happens at 6 p.m. It's called Beyond Words. Planned and coordinated by UIndy students, who clearly rock the house. They made this poster:

A moment from my last reading at the Vonnegut, a gorgeous space:

Not part of the Twitter caption: "...points with her freakishly long finger..." It's like a Swiffer duster extender and twice as crooked. #VballMiddleBlocker4Lyfe

I'm planning to read from my debut novel, TRIP THROUGH YOUR WIRES, out in February from Engine Books. The advance review copies are out, so for the first time, I'll be reading from an actual book instead of manuscript pages.

If you're a reviewer and would like an ARC, by the way, you can contact me or Victoria Barrett at Engine Books. Here are the books from another angle:
