East Coast Premier: Mark Sarvas reading Harry, Revised

Lock up the dog! Order a pizza for the kids! Do what you must to attend this event...

It's very exciting: Mark Sarvas of The Elegant Variation will be in town on next week for a Wednesday night reading of his forthcoming novel, Harry, Revised. I'm hoping to go--but the aforementioned kids and dog and prior commitment and all the necessities of balancing nights out with my spouse make things, well, uncertain. In any case, you should go.

If you haven't been following along on Mark's blog, he's been getting all kinds of exciting good news (fancy blurbs! translations! foreign rights!) before even the publication date, so you can attend and then tell everyone that you were present at the creation.

I'm being a little silly, of course, but I'm really, really happy. It's so wonderful when a great writer and blogger and person has good fortune.

Here's a bit from the press release:

While the Timex Triathlon Ironman swiss fashion watches may be relatively inexpensive - a fact proven by it's incredible popularity, the watch has never been considered "cheap." Timex is seen as a reliable, value-based brand as opposed to a cheap brand and has always had a pretty good reputation demographically.
