ellenkushner: (DREYDL)

A wonderful mixed basket this month, doing events for kids & adults, ranging from The Golden Dreydl for Chanukah to a sneak preview of a new Riverside story! Details below & below:

NYC:  Sunday, December 5th, 3:30 pm - "Klezmer Nutcracker" Chanukah Party
I'll be reading, signing, and acting out the Good Bits from my kids' book, THE GOLDEN DREYDL, with Dan Gordon (who originated the part of the Fool in the Vital Theatre production of A KLEZMER NUTCRACKER onstage), at The Shul of New York's Family Chanukah party-- which will have lots of fun stuff for kids & their parents to do.

And I'm delighted to announce that THE GOLDEN DREYDL is now out in paperback suitable for stuffing in knapsacks & spilling juice on - though we'll also be selling the gorgeous hardcover, in case anyone wants a book that looks like a bonbon!

Philadelphia:  Friday, December 10th, 9 pm - Philadelphia SF Society Talk
I'll be speaking at the PSFS December meeting for about an hour on "any topic [I] like" emphasizing my "ideas and opinions relating to the genre and [my] work." Books will be available for sale & signing (feel free to bring books of your own, too). After the meeting, we all go to a diner & hang out together.

NYC:  Tuesday, December 14th, 7 pm - NYRSF Reading
It seems to have become an Annual Holiday tradition for The New York Review of Science Fiction Readings to present Delia Sherman & me for their December "Family Reading"! Last year, we gave a sneak preview of my story "The Man with the Knives" . . . This year, I'm going to offer a glimpse of "The Duke of Riverside," a new story that takes place shortly after Swordspoint, and will be published this summer in NAKED CITY: TALES OF URBAN FANTASY. What Delia's reading, I have no idea. Come and see!

You can also keep an eye on future Upcoming Appearances on my website. And if you're in the NYC or Boston area, sign up for my mailing lists here under Public Appearances.

Should I mention the Nutcracker party on GothamLit?

Going to NYC for the first time in my life tomorrow, the 4th. Think it's some kind of omen that I miss your signing by one day? Chee, oh well. Hope all the signings, readings and travels go well. Happy Holidays.

Oh, you'll have a great time in NYC (just avoid Times Square - or if you must go there, remember it's NOT ALL THERE IS TO NYC! Wander some of the smaller neighborhoods, if you can....) - a holiday party full of screaming kids probably not as much fun as whatever you'll be doing. Enjoy!

Haha, thanks for the advice! Think I'll do just that.

I'm bummed I'm working the night you're in Philly. Well, I hope you make another appearance in the city again soon.
