A post to launch a thousand books

Chris Meeks is one of the faculty members at USC, where I just finished my Master’s (for anyone who hasn’t been paying attention, and in the interest of full disclosure). I encountered Meeks online several years back, when the now-defunct PODdy Mouth first reviewed his book, The Middle-Aged Man and the Sea.

All of which is to say that Meeks taught me a lot before I ever met him, and despite that I never took a class with him.

Meeks has a new story collection coming out, Months and Seasons. He’s having a launch party for it tomorrow, in Beverly Hills, so if you’re in the Los Angeles area, I’m betting it’s one of the more enjoyable things you can do for ten bucks. Information about the launch here.

In addition,

Here’s Chris’ Lulu storefront, for anyone who can’t make it to the party but would like to purchase the book anyway,

and here’s his website, where you can find links to various and sundry articles, stories, podcasts, and etc.
