Off to San Francisco's City Lights for a reading Wednesday the 9th, and then to Seattle's Elliot Bay Book Company for a reading on Friday, the 11th. Both with start at 7pm. Love this mention about the Seattle reading: "Scott's Death Wishing is about a world in which wishing actually does something for a frickin' change." I've never been out to these parts of the country, so forgive my ignorance, but I have two questions: 1) They don't really call it "Frisco," right? And 2) Will Seattle folk get upset because I can't stop humming the opening theme to Here Come the Brides? I was a huge Bobby Sherman fan, thought David Cassidy was sleazy.
Jen Michalski wrote some gorgeous thoughts about Death Wishing over at her blog last week: "With the commercial fiction market often saturated with sameness, I'm
always excited when I read something so completely bizarre and
engrossing."
I stumbled over a very nice review by Diane Pinckley over at Nola.com--she wasn't completely convinced by the ending, but she did dub Death wishing a "fun fantasy captures the feel of this unique city."
Finally, the relentless Tara Laskowski interviewed me at Art and Literature. It was big fun.

whoa-- cool. be sure to pack your flannel and docs for seattle. they still roll that, don't they?
I have one answer: No, they absolutely do not call it Frisco. The use of the term 'Frisco' induces wincing.
See you tonight!
