Anton Strout Reads From and Signs Copies of His Debut Novel, Dead To Me:

(View entire post here)

February 26th, 2008 marked a momentous occasion in the life of young author Anton Strout-it was the publication date of his first book, Dead to Me. Anton's debut urban fantasy tells the story of Simon Canderous, a recruit to New York City's underfunded and (mostly) secret Department of Extraordinary Affairs. Simon also possesses the power of psychometry. Anton does not. But he does have the power to scintillate in front of a pretty large crowd, as it turns out!

At 7:30 p.m. this very Tuesday, Anton read from Dead to Me at the Greenwich Village Barnes & Noble. As his proud editor, I tagged along. To encourage the hecklers, obviously.

Anton explained to a charming and bubbly crowd that the particular bookstore had a special significance for him: he'd worked there for three years, and during that time he used to gaze out the floor-to-ceiling window onto Sixth Avenue below and imagine what kind of paranormal goings on could go unnoticed by the busy New Yorkers rushing by. Hey presto, inspiration for the novel he was holding in his hot little hands!
