Dead End Books Thank-You

Stopped into Dead End Books last night for their end-of-lease thank-you party. Caught up with Reed Coleman and Jason Starr, and spoke for the first time with Jim Fusilli and Chris Aldrich.

Fusilli came in with news of the Mets' record-tying three sac flys in one inning versus the scuffling Yankees. Chris mentioned she was a member of my discussion lists, DetecToday and CrimeSeen, and she, Jason, and I got to chatting about the state of Robert Parker and Sue Grafton's famous series.

Also chatted with frequent Dead End customer DJ, aspiring science fiction/fantasy author who, as a high school sophomore, already has a keen sense of story and character. Good luck to him, and to the fine folks of Dead End.
