If you're anywhere near the 315 today, November 14th, please join me at the mighty Parthenon Books, 333 South Salina Street in Syracuse. At 4:00 pm, I will be at Parthenon for an in-person author event on behalf of my book Guitars Vs. Rayguns!! Short Stories And Other White Lies and its six-story novelette digest version A Band Called GUITARS VS. RAYGUNS! I'll be signing my books, reading a few stories, and answering any questions my small but discerning audience cares to toss my way. The focus of the event will be hawking my fiction work, but if you have a question about my previous nonfiction books Gabba Gabba Hey! A Conversation With The Ramones and The Greatest Record Ever Made! (Volume 1), I'll try to answer those queries before pivoting back to my collection of white lies. Parthenon is a great, great bookstore, and I am so appreciative of how nice Ann Duddy and her entire staff have been to me over the years. Go to Parthenon! BUY BOOKS!!
To get ya prepped, here's a link to my TV appearance on Bridge Street this week, discussing my fiction, my teen decision to become a writer, and the hijinks that ensued thereafter: HEY! Look at ME!!! A million zillion thanks to Erik Columbia, Iris St. Meran, and everyone at Bridge Street for making me feel welcome and making me feel special.
For today's Parthenon gig, I've selected a bunch of stories from Guitars Vs. Rayguns!! to consider reading out loud, including PG-13 edits of a couple of my more vulgar concoctions. Family friendly? Well, PG-13, maybe. I won't have time to read all of the stories I've selected, but we'll see what time and the flow of the moment allow.
I've made a number of previous in-person appearances promoting my non-fiction work. This is my first-ever public appearance reading my fiction. This...could be interesting. As always, a splendid time is vaguely implied for all. And I hope to see you at Parthenon this afternoon.

My new book of short stories Guitars Vs. Rayguns!! Short Stories And Other White Lies is out now, and you can get autographed copies of the new book, its six-chapter novelette digest A Band Called GUITARS VS. RAYGUNS!, and my previous book The Greatest Record Ever Made! (Volume 1) directly from me. You can still get my previous previous book Gabba Gabba Hey! A Conversation With The Ramones from publisher Rare Bird Books, OR an autographed copy here. If you like the books, please consider leaving a rating and/or review at the usual online resources.
I compiled a various-artists tribute album called Make Something Happen! A Tribute To The Flashcubes, and it's pretty damned good; you can read about it here and order it here.
