THE TRINITY PLACE BIRTHDAY READING

The Trinity Place Birthday Reading with Brixton Key.

To celebrate my birthday I’d thought it would be fun to read on Friday, May 4^th, in Trinity Place, downtown San Francisco, outside the G.F. Wilkinson Book and Ephemera Kiosk at 7PM. Afterwards they’ll be a party at a downtown bar where the drinks and stories will flow.

The same day my novel, Charlie Six, will be available for a free down from Amazon Kindle for five days to thank everyone whose bought the book, and would now like a Kindle version. And if you didn’t buy the book, it will still be free on Amazon Kindle to download from Friday May 4^th, through May 8^th.

34 Trinity Place is near Bush and Montgomery Streets.  

 Here’s a link to Mr. Wilkinson’s fabulously unique store.

COMING OF AGE WITH BRIXTON KEY

"Charlie is a mixture of tough street waif and cuddly cherub from an early age. He knows how to fight and shoplift, but at age ten, he still sleeps with a teddy bear named Concrete, and talks his mother into taking in a stray cat." Barney Quick, Indie Music, 3 April, 2012.

Blown Up Like Al Capone

I've been editing a bunch of Charlie Six videos with my friend Larry "Trousers" Drabble. He's cool with the moving montage. The videos are for a promotion via Kindle for next month. In the meantime we had a great reading by my Claudia Holmes from the chapter "Blown up like Al Capone," which didn't quite fit into the series of readings by Max Harley Rogerson. It was put aside until Freddie Fable popped in to see me on a business trip to San Francisco from London. Freddie loves mobsters being a bit of a wide boy himself. He reckons I modeled Spider after him, which is weird as Spider is Jamaican and Freddie's paler than newspaper. Still he's deft with the video cut and after polishing off a couple of bottle of Charles Shaw he banged this together with some great music by Pippa Lang and John McManus for the soundtrack.
