Happy Thanksgiving! A couple things to touch upon here:

One, literally: You may remember that about two months ago I reported my Out of the Pocket was on a bestseller list. AfterElton.com's hot list had OOTP as the No. 7 novel (courtesy of Giovanni's Room in Philadelphia).

That was a week after my reading at the bookstore, so I was mostly joking about that. But this week, I found that I am still doing well at that store. I currently have the No. 1 selling gay book! Woo hoo!

Here is that list:

1. Out of the Pocket by Bill Konigsberg
2. Sarah by J.T. LeRoy
3. Unspeakable by Michael-Christopher
4. Skip Lane by Neil Bartlett
5. Got ‘til It’s Gone by Larry Duplechan
6. Lion Among Men by Gregory Maguire
7. Finlater by Shawn Stewart Ruff
8. Indian Clerk by David Leavitt
9. Hotel de Dream by Edmund White


I am always thrilled to hear reports of good sales, and recently I have heard nice reports from a few stores, including A Different Light in Los Angeles. Who knows what it all really means. I just hope people are enjoying the book.

Here are a few more pictures from my gig at Changing Hands in Tempe, Ariz.


I am still flying from that great evening. So much fun! And somehow, these are the first useable pictures I have of me reading at any store or school event.


If anyone has any pics from other events, please send them my way via e-mail.
