Countdown to "Down at the Golden Coin"

The pre-orders are coming in for "Down at the Golden Coin" by Kim Strickland. We'll be shipping out those orders on March 20th, the official release date of the book.

Here's another date to remember: March 23, 2012. Exactly two weeks from today.

That's the date of the official book launch party for "Down at the Golden Coin". We have some details about the party, for those of you in the Chicago area.

It will take place at the August House Studio, on 2113 West Roscoe Street in Chicago from 6-9pm.

What is August House Studio? Here's how they describe themselves: Springing out of an art rental business run from owner Marya Veeck's living room, August House Studio is dedicated to bringing art into the neighborhood. "In Europe," Veeck says,"galleries are like florists: they're everywhere, interspersed in neighborhoods, making art a part of everyday life." Instead of being located in a specific district, art galleries are spread throughout the city, making art available to everyone."

On March 23rd from 6-9pm you can purchase this piece of art: "Down at the Golden Coin". Author Kim Strickland will personally autograph your copy if you come out that night.

See you there!
