All Small Caps 3/29

On Monday, March 29th, I'll be reading with Joshua Harmon at the All Small Caps reading series in Wendell, MA. The event gets underway at 7:30pm and takes place at the Deja Brew Pub (57 Lockes Village Road). Cost of entry is a sliding scale from $1 to $5.

This will be my first East Coast reading since A Model Year came out, so I will be sure to have copies with me for sale. I am looking forward to the event, reading with Joshua, and visiting with Jess. I wish my trip didn't have to be so short, but work doesn't allow for much time off.
