I’ll be participating in the Rainbow Book Fair again this year. The Fair is happening on Saturday, April 9th 12:00 – 6:00 PM at John Jay College. It’s a great event for seeing what’s happening in the world of LGBT literature. Click here to see the line-up of authors from Bold Strokes Books.
For me, there’s nothing like being part of a community of folks who love LGBT literature. It’s kind of like a Pride parade for authors, publishers and readers, and like my first Pride parade, which, as a random by-the-by, was back in 1991 in Toronto, I remember fondly my first Rainbow Book Fair in 2013.
I was doing early promotion of The Seventh Pleiade, did one of my first public readings, handed out bookmarks to advertise my book, and talked with many dozens of people who stopped by my publisher’s table. That day, I felt like I was really an author, and I think as authors we need those kind of experiences, stepping out of our sequestered lives in front of a computer.
This year, I’ll be reading from Banished Sons of Poseidon at 5:30 PM, and I’ll be at and around the exhibit table for Bold Strokes Books. Drop on by and say hello. 🙂
