THIS WEEK WAS like a return to all my old stomping grounds! On Wednesday, I did a signing at a Borders in LaGrange, IL, a town that I remember visiting as a kid because my dad worked and banked near there when I was growing up. There used to be…
LAST WEEKEND, I spent Friday through Sunday hanging out as a guest at the Chicago Horror Film Festival at Chicago’s Portage Theatre… and had a bloody great time! Friday night at the fest I finally met a bunch of folks I’d only previously known through e-mail, including members of my MySpace friend list,…
IT’S BEEN ANOTHER whirlwind week on the Covenant book tour! Two days after getting home from my Indianapolis/Cincinnati signing spree, I had to fly to one of my favorite cities — San Francisco — for a two-day business trip… so naturally, I slipped in a bookstore signing while I was…
THIS WEEKEND, I took my second “roadtrip” to promote COVENANT… on Friday morning, I hopped in the car at 6:30 a.m. and headed out on I-80 to Indianapolis for a noon signing at the downtown Meridian Street Borders store (which ironically, is housed in a building named “Barnes”!) It only…
OVER THE YEARS, I’ve submitted some stories to M. Christian’s erotic SF anthologies, and tonight, he posted an excerpt from one of the racier segments of my book Covenant in prep for my visit to San Francisco next week (Thanks MC!)… To check it out, go here: http://frequentlyfelt.blogspot.com/2008/09/covenant-by-john-everson.html
HORROR FICTION REVIEW has just posted an interview with me that we did last month! Check it out here. Horror World’s LiveJournal feed has posted a nice news update on what’s going on with my Covenant book tour. And the new issue of Rue Morgue has a thumbnail review of the book that…
SO, WHILE IT’S NOW been out a couple weeks, this was the “official” Covenant debut party weekend… with a signing staged at the Bolingbrook, IL BORDERS store Friday night just a mile or two from my house, and the “official Launch Party” at Frugal Muse Books in Darien, IL Saturday afternoon,…
TALK ABOUT A busy week! Last Thursday I signed in Nashville, then spent the weekend at Dragon*Con in Atlanta, and then on Tuesday I toured the Makers Mark distillery in Kentucky on the way home. This Thursday night, I sat in on the Radio Free El Paso show (AM 1650)…
I SURVIVED the roach. I never saw him again. Though… perhaps he got off the floor of that dingy hotel room after I clobbered him with the TV remote and crawled down my throat to get his vengeance while I was sleeping… because today, the area of my tonsils feels like it’s been…
PEOPLE HAVE TOLD me for years that I should go to Dragon*Con in Atlanta, but I never found a good reason – while it’s a huge convention (30,000+ attendees) – it’s known for being a SF/F/Gaming con, not a horror home. Nevertheless, this year when I found out Covenant was being released…
