Stay away from the brown acid.

I'll be appearing at Bookstock, the Memphis Area Authors Fair on Saturday, October 1, from 10:30 a.m. to 1 p.m at the Benjamin L. Hooks Central Library. Come by, say hello, let me sign for you a book or three, then stick around for a live taping of the Booktalk radio show with Mark Greaney, author of the bestseller, The Gray Man and, as it happens, brother of Trey Greaney, a high school classmate of mine — if you'll pardon the shameless namedroppy attempt at association building.

See you there!
