Just some musings and electronic gatherings of an ink-stained wretch turned social media junkie. As JADAL says: No trees were destroyed in the sending of this organic message. I do concede, however, a significant number of electrons may have been inconvenienced.

Oh, if there only were a Circus Library. My favorite thing about libraries? That they exist and are magical. My favorite thing about circuses? That they exist and are magical.
The Book of Speculation GIVEAWAY
The tumblr community has been hugely helpful during the long walk to publication. I’d like to give something back.
I’m giving away A Box of Speculation. It contains: an Advance Reader Edition of my novel, The Book of Speculation, a complete set of antiqued tarot cards (in their own box), and a hand-bound notebook in which you might start your own novel. Neat thing: the cards were aged and stained by me. Other neat thing: I bound, aged, and gilded the notebook in the same manner as the original manuscripts of The Book of Speculation. Pretty cool, no?
To enter, reply to this post or message me with your favorite thing about libraries, or your favorite thing about circus!
A winner will be chosen at random, and will be notified via ask box on 5/23/15!
Important stuff.

You know what looks like fun this week? Ruby Besler’s Naughty Lessons at OBERON:
Ruby Besler, 1940’s sex expert, chanteuse, comedienne, and former Vaudeville star, gives ever so polite but eye popping sex advice to her devoted fans, all the while struggling with the reality of her own lackluster single life.

Ben Taylor holds court at #Consenses concert to celebrate his sister #SallyTaylor's art installation at Wellesley College. #AndThenThisHappened
As they were walking (running) onto the stage at Wellesley College, Ben Taylor pretty much just told Kori Withers she was going to sing "Lean on Me". No rehearsal. Carly Simon and the rest just followed along beautifully. #AndThenThisHappened #SallyTaylor #Consenses
Lean on me? And then this happened, too. Kori Withers, Carly Simon and #SallyTaylor at #Consenses concert at Wellesley College. Installation at Wellesley student center through Tuesday.
And then this happened. Eric Erdman at #Consenses concert at Wellesley College. Just the right amount of dude. #SallyTaylor
