A reading & a party in December!

[Ellen Kushner]

Two fun holiday events next month:

Sunday, December 5th
"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 plenty of fun stuff for kids & their parents to do. I'm
delighted to announce that the book, THE GOLDEN DREYDL, is now out in
paperback - though we'll also be selling the gorgeous hardcover, in
case anyone wants a book that looks like a bonbon!


Tuesday, December 14th
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, I gave a sneak preview of
my unpublished story, "The Man with the Knives" - which has since been
published in a gorgeous limited edition chapbook (and will also be
reprinted in Jonathan Strahan's The Best Science Fiction and Fantasy
of the Year: Vol 5) . . . This year, I'm going to offer a glimpse of
"The Duke of Riverside," a new story that takes place shortly after my
novel _Swordspoint_, and will be published this summer in NAKED CITY:
TALES OF URBAN FANTASY, edited by Ellen Datlow (St Martin's Press,
July 2011). What Delia's reading, I have no idea. Come and see!
