Here’s what’s currently on deck.

October 18th.MY DEAD BODY
The release party.
We have a venue change from the last few release parties.
Dave and David of Secret Headquarters are mad bastards and have opened a record store. And when I say “record store,” I’m not just revealing myself as a fusty old man who refuses to say CD store. I mean they opened a fucking record store. So, in the spirit of selling dead media, we’re having the party there.
Vacation Vinyl

LA, CA 90027

What Will Happen:
At 7:00pm I’ll read very fucking briefly from MY DEAD BODY, the last Joe Pitt
book.
You will drink beer and whiskey (or not, that’s up to you.)
I will challenge you with trivia, and reward you with prizes.
And After: Anyone who wants to can join us as we find our way to the
Good Luck Bar.

October 24th.
I will be at The Mystery Bookstore in Los Angeles as part of their 1st anniversary party.
2-3pm, speaking and signing.
Now, here’s the important part:
When I’m done, James Ellroy will take the stage, and when he’s done, Michael Connelly will take the stage.
The reason you come and see me is that by the time those guys show, there will be no room for you in the fucking store.
Your only hope is to sit through my schtick.
Suck it up.
