I got an email from Golden Age Stories today. It’s pretty cool, they’re offering a free audiobook and a free ebook. You do have to give your email address and such, but I like free stuff, so it works for me. Check it out!
At the Mystery and Imagination Bookshop there will be a “Wicked Literature” meeting at 7 PM on October 18th. If you live in Los Angeles, talk it up and check it out! At the very least you will get to check out one of the original genre bookstores in Los Angeles.
