Technical difficulties, etc.

November 1, 2010

I’m having trouble with my scanner, which means a couple of things. First, as happens whenever the complications of the modern world move beyond my feeble grasp, I really want to punch myself in the head. Second, the urgent investigation of the 1978 Atlanta Braves is on hold.

In the meantime, some book news:

Cardboard Gods is among the ten finalists for The Casey Award for Best Baseball Book of the Year.

A couple of November events have been added to the book tour page: next week, I’ll be participating in the Quickies reading series, which features authors reading short fiction and prose; and at the end of the month I’ll be doing a signing at Malaprops Bookstore in Asheville, North Carolina.

WAMC’s Roundtable program ran an interview with me about the book last week; the archived interview can be heard here.
