Boskone This Weekend
Turns out I will be on programming at Boskone this weekend. I'll be there Friday night, speaking on a panel on Utopian Fiction, and one on Erotica. If I can find a room to do it in, we may also have a little book launch party for Best Fantastic Erotica. More champagne!

No idea what's going on with my sleeping. Three nights in a row I've had some form of insomnia, and didn't get more than 5 hours uninterrupted any of the three. So, yes, I am a zombie now.

Meanwhile, things are moving along for my upcoming book of erotic short stories, White Flames. I've returned the proofs, there is a cover design which I'll soon have a copy of I can share here, they're asking for my photo.

And anyone who wants a review copy of Best Fantastic Erotica (I mean, if you actually have a place to review it and aren't merely trying to scam a free copy), speak up now. They're mailing in a few days.

I would like to review it -- I have two blogs (this one, and another anonymous one that's all about sex) where it would be appropriate to post a review. I'd also like to catch up at some point. We met a few years ago at your holiday party and years before that at IBCIV at Harvard. Made plans to go to the Forest Cafe for lunch but it was closed or something. Anyway, I'm still in town. And still, um, social.

	Oh. If you like, I can pick it up at the press if you want to save mailing costs. Or I can email you my mailing address. Let me know. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	EMail me the mailing address to circletintern (at) Gmail -- that's more sure fire than us trying to arrange a pickup! (Reply to this)(Parent)

	Hi Cecilla, I will be at Boskone this weekend and launch party or not, I would love to get a copy of the Best Fantastic Erotica [a copy that I will pay for]. I would have picked it up at the launch party you had at Arisia, but I had to cancel going to Arisia this year because my Bustopher got very sick [I had to put him to sleep on the 2nd]. See you at Boskone. -Larry- (Reply to this)(Thread)

	I don't think I've ever been on programming at a convention that scheduled things so last-minute. Just yesterday, they granted Broad Universe a rapid fire reading. Anyhow, see you there! (Reply to this)(Thread)

	ceciliatan 2008-02-14 05:47 am UTC (link)
	They did ask me way in advance and I dithered about going -- I wasn't sure what my schedule was going to be. As it turns out, I can't do Saturday, but can do Fr and Sun, so they slotted me in. And if you've never been on program for a con this last minute (or worse...) that's just because you missed some doozies! >.> (Reply to this)(Parent)

	Oh, send us a review copy. I just hired a new reviewer for ALT. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Remind me the address? My database is woefully out of date. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	See you at Boskone! (Champagne? Woohoo!) (Reply to this)(Thread)

I work for an independent bookstore in Connecticut and write short reviews for BookSense. I've also been known to review books in my blog or on other websites that encourage such behavior (LibraryThing, Amazon, and the like).

If you can spare a review copy of Best Fantastic Erotica, I'd love to take a look. My mailing address is:

Lou A. Swartz
The Turning Page Bookstore
P.O. Box 178
62 Halls Road
Old Lyme, CT 06371

Feel free to send along any print catalogs, too, if you'd like.

	Lou, I'd be pleased to send you a copy. I'll try to remember to put the catalog in also. We're distributed by SCB so you probably see one of their reps? But I have a feeling we are rather, ahem, low on their priority lists. Look for it middle of next week? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	See you there! (Definitely at 9:00 Friday night.) (Reply to this)(Thread)

	ceciliatan 2008-02-14 05:39 am UTC (link)
	I keep thinking you are in this book! But no, that was Sex In The System I was buying for at the same time. Glad we'll see you and catch up! Are you ever going to write me something for the Circlet blog? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	beth_bernobich 2008-02-14 02:10 pm UTC (link)
	Ack! I knew there was something I'd forgotten to do. Yes, I will definitely write something for the Circlet blog. (I need to come up with a good topic.) (Reply to this)(Parent)
