Buffalito Destiny book launch

May 20th, 2009

Memorial Day Weekend will see the launch of my first novel, Buffalito Destiny. Fans of my Amazing Conroy stories have been waiting a long time for a book length adventure, and I'm confident they'll be very happy with the result.

I'll be present at the book launch on Saturday night, May 23rd, at Balticon. If you're at the convention, I hope you'll come on by and join in the celebration.

Or... if you're in Kansas City, attending ConQuesT, you can attend the parallel launch party being hosted by the publisher, Hadley Rille Books, on that same night.

What are people saying about the book? I'm glad you asked:

"Makes for a fun read, especially given such a fantastic cast of characters." -- Booklist

"Schoen makes the unlikely and the implausible into a thoroughly entertaining and utterly believeable romp." -- Laura Anne Gilman

"Only Lawrence Schoen could blend the Mayan echaton, nightclub hypnotism, corporate elitism, radical environmentalism, and good old-fashioned slam-bang adventure fiction. BUFFALITO DESTINY is a charming, cheerfully improbable, and delightfully entertaining tail." -- Jay Lake

"Artfully drawn, extremely original, and delightfully described. Highly recommended." -- Walter H. Hunt

"Fast-paced and mind-bending." -- Karl Schroeder

Another Day, Another Reading

As I have long suspected and now confirmed, it is a supremely satisfying thing to do a reading from one's newly published novel. Supremely satisfying.

Last night's reading (and the dinner afterwards) went well. Everyone seemed to enjoy themselves, and many people bought the book! A special shout out to [info]thnidu who I hadn't expected to see, and was delighted by the surprise of his presence. Also to [info]itsallmishegoss who spent Balticon wenching my book and came to the reading anyway.

Now I need to wake up and get ready to do it all over again, this time at Between Books in Claymont, DE. Hope to see you there at 3pm today. But first, as mentioned, we'll be dipping a bit further south to dine at Joe's Crab Shack. Don't worry, I've left sufficient time to eat, fall into a food coma, recover, and still be at Between Books in time for the reading.... (more)

Viimeinen asia mielessäni oli joutua pidätetyksi pari päivää ennen Maahan paluutani. Olin työskennellyt Hauvelissa, Gibrahlin avaruussataman ainoassa cocktailbaarissa, viimeiset kolme ja puoli viikkoa. Sopimukseni edellytti kahta show'ta...
