Further afield. Some things beginning to unwrap.

So: making a bit of a regional and further push as I put the wraps on issue #2. (Which includes another box, though I have to decide how many.) A lot (lot!) of the regional pushes (Acme Comics in Greensboro, Barnes & Noble of Burlington, Black Bear Books of Boone, etc.) are pending, but a few further afield places are giving me a shot.
CHICAGO: Quimby's Bookstore will take anything, so I'm not special. But it was nice to get an e-mail receipt from them, so I know they've received the books. So, my fine

Two new homes for Bull Spec! Also, flyers! Also, a brief aside on selling out.

I'm very happy indeed that there are two more places in the Triangle where folks can get their hands on a copy of Bull Spec #2: The Durham County Library's Southwest Regional Branch on Shannon Road, and Duke University's Gothic Bookshop.
I want to talk about the library first, not only because it was there first chronologically but because, well, it's very awesome for me on a personal level to know that somebody can walk into the library and discover worlds, as I did all through my youth at my "home" public

Expanding the territory.

Well, issue #2 has a new store carrying Bull Spec, Barnes & Noble's Durham "New Hope Commons" location. (For all locations, click here!) It's way back and the bottom in the newsstand, to the left of "The Paris Review" and to the right of "F&SF". And I'm making another pitch to Greenville and Burlington this week. Wish me luck!

More stores, local and not. And tomorrow is eventful.

Well, issue #1 is in stock at Barnes & Noble location at the Streets of Southpoint in Durham; thanks very much to the management there giving it a chance and their support.
And a box is on its way to Forbidden Planet NYC -- hopefully it will get there soon and folks will like it!
And for folks in the local area, I'll be at the Bimbé Cultural Arts Festival in downtown Durham tomorrow (Saturday) from 12-9. Come by to chat, play chess, and bring snacks.

Breaking free of locality.

Well, it's happened. Two stores whose management I cannot personally influence with a visit and an "offer they can't refuse" have opened their doors to Bull Spec #1.
The first is Greenville, South Carolina's Fiction Addiction. I found them on IndieBound and they were very up front about their support for authors and artists in the Carolinas, and though it's much later than I'd hoped (the fault is all mine, trying too long to figure out ever-cheaper ways to send more than a copy at a time somewhere) issue #1
