Minneapolis RLSH Hit the Street!

Yesterday, a group of Minnesota RLSH hit the streets, handing out supplies to homeless people, patrolling, and making donations to Minneapolis shelters People Serving People and Higher Ground.

The group included Geist, Misery, Blue, and new recruits Murrica and Amethyst.

If you live in Milwaukee, Madison, Chicago, or the Twin Cities, please consider going to one of my in-store events and purchasing a copy in person. You'll not only be supporting me but some great independent bookstores as well.

Here's a list of Midwest appearances: http://heroesinthenight.blogspot.com/2013/08/heroes-in-night-midwest-tour.html

Everyone else-- the book is available at every online bookseller you can think of (see links below) or better yet, ask your local bookstore to order you a copy.

Last, if you're a bit pinched, ask your local library to order a copy. Most libraries have a simple request form for new material.

Thank you all, this is a pretty awesome day for me.
