A Night of Noir

Come to Gallery 5 this evening at 7:00 for a Night of Noir, brought to you by River City Reads and Chop Suey. I will be opening up the evening by talking about River City Reads, Richmond's First City Wide Book Club. Then there will be readings of the short stories from Richmond Noir, written and edited by Richmond Locals.

This reading is free and open to the public and will feature readings by Mina Beverly, Conrad Ashley Persons, Tom De Haven, David L. Robbins, and Meagan J. Saunders. Co-editors Andrew Blossom and Brian Castleberry and authors X.C. Atkins, Laura Browder, and Anne Thomas Soffee will also be on hand to discuss their work, answer questions, and sign books.

I hope to see you there.
