Raw Dog Screaming Press authors signed at bookstores all around Pittsburgh today, and I dropped in to see each one. With help from Diane Turnshek, Laurie Mann and the good folks at Parsec, the event was dubbed “Booksburgh” and every store offered some great discounts and happy surprises along the way. My photos don’t do much justice to the creative energy and frivolity on display this afternoon, but it gives you some sense of the occassion.
The day began with my signing/reading at CMU Bookstore, which was a good warm up act to a series of intelligent and entertaining readings and encounters with authors and readers across town. Pittsburgh really is a great town for book lovers, and Raw Dog Screaming Press — which hails from Baltimore, MD — really is right at home here. This was the line up:
Mike Arnzen at 1pm at the CMU Bookstore – 5032 Forbes, 15213
Stephanie Wytovich at 2pm at The Big Idea Bookstore – 4812 Liberty, 15224
Matt Betts at 3pm at The Muse Stand – 4524 Liberty, 15224
Heidi Ruby Miller at 4pm at Bradley’s Books – 125 West Station Square Drive 15219
Jason Jack Miller at 5pm at Eljays Books – 3233 W Liberty, 15216 (under new management as Rickert & Beagle Bookstore)
