BookBurn tonight
Word on the street is that there's a BookBurn tonight. But before you get all excited, no worries, it's not THAT kind of book burn.
Brad Grochowski of AuthorsBookshop.com, has scheduled his indie book event at Koba Cafe on Fort Avenue to highlight the works of indie authors.
"Forever, the act of burning books has been a symbol of oppression and censorship," according to the Web site. "We feel that indie books have been effectively censored for many years by the stigma that has been held against indie publishing."
So tonight, they "burn" a few indie books so all can see.
Grochowski told me via e-mail that the event will run from 7 p.m. to 8:30 p.m., with musical guest sahffi and authors Nick Ruth (Dark Dreamweaver), Frank Joseph (To Love Mercy) and Angelo Solera (The Journey, el Camino) reading.
Grochowski also said they've already scheduled another BookBurn, again at Koba Cafe, on May 20. So if you can't make it tonight, and won't be near a computer for the live Webcast, mark your calendars now.
