I’m going to be sitting at a table at Hummingbird Books 55 Boylston St.(Route 9) Chestnut Hill Newton MA from 6 to 8 PM on Thursday, September 14 (not this week as I post this, but next). I’m promoting **Lost Wonderland** , so I’ll have lollipops and party favors and other things to suggest amusement parks. ---

Pretty good. I sold several books. The table next to me was occupied by the person who recommended my book to the publisher. Naturally, I bought her book. Didn’t sell as many as I hoped, though. This coming weekend I’ll be selling some of my books at Boskone\*. There’s an organization that promotes small presses, so I’m bringing copies of **The Traveler**. I’m allowed up to three titles, so I’ll have **Lost Wonderland** and **Medusa** there, as well. \*Boskone is the second Boston-area science fiction convention of the year, held President’s Day weekend, a month after Arisia (the first convention held every year). For the past few years it’s been at the same place as Arisia, too – the Westin Boston Harbor hotel.
