The Latest
GO-BETWEEN is coming! And other doings…
March 13th, 2016
I am very excited about the upcoming publication of my fifth book, GO-BETWEEN! Look up the page and you’ll see the cover and a brief description. To learn more about the book, including a look at the first three chapters, click here!
Otherwise, if you happen to be in London in mid-May, I’ll be doing a few events for the Asia House Literary Festival, including this one and this one! (gulp) I hope to add some more UK events in the latter part of May. Will keep you posted!
I will be making an appearance at the Bay Area Book Festival (June 4-5, time/date TBD).
For the actual book launch, I will be in NYC, doing a special Soho Crime 25th Anniversary event — watch this space for details!
And I promise for those of you in San Diego, I’ll have my West Coast book launch at the wonderful Mysterious Galaxy (that link will take you to a page where you can pre-order signed copies of GO-BETWEEN)…and yes, there will be local craft beer…
Dragon Day doings…
August 11th, 2015
Here’s my events schedule for the next couple of weeks (because it’s quicker than updating the calendar):
I’m celebrating the Dragon Day launch two days early (but there will be books), with Steph Cha at San Diego’s wonderful bookstore Mysterious Galaxy on Aug. 16 at 2 pm — and we plan to celebrate with some of San Diego’s finest brews, among other things. If you’re around, stop by!
I have a few more events scheduled in California as well:
Aug. 20, 7 pm, Book Carnival, with Steph Cha
Aug. 26, 7 pm, Janet Rudolph’s salon in the East Bay (write me at lisa@lisabrackmann.com if you’d like to go to this)
Aug. 27, afternoon-ish, I’ll be dropping into Book Shop West Portal and Books Inc. Laurel Village in San Francisco to sign copies — drop them a line to reserve yours!
Sept. 17, 7 pm, Chevalier’s in LA’s Larchmont Village, with Steph Cha and Elizabeth Little
Sept. 20, 3 pm, Mystery Ink in Huntington Beach, with Steph Cha
