The Mob, Vegas, and Tea

In case you couldn't get enough of the Akashic Noir series, and you live in L.A. (or visit often), you're in great luck.

My friend Jethro Nededog, the USC Master of Professional Writing Alumni Association, and I are putting on "A Night of Noir." At a little local Los Angeles bookstore, writers from Los Angeles Noir and Las Vegas Noir will meet up to read their work, sign books, and generally have a great time.

Please join us! Here's the details...
Who: Amazing writers such as Tod Goldberg, Denise Hamilton, Christine McKellar, Gary Phillips, Emory Holmes III, Jim Pascoe and other writers (including me!) will read from their work. And sign books.

What: This summer's ultimate in Noir literary events.

When: Saturday, June 28, 2008 from 6pm to 8pm

Where: Imix Bookstore, 5052 Eagle Rock Blvd., Los Angeles, CA (323) 257-2512

Why: Noir writers are generally very cool. Jazz singer Laura Ellis will perform selections from her show "Femme Fatale: The Music of Film Noir." And the event includes a no-host wine bar.

Hope to see you there,

Lori
