Tuesday, April 4, same location: Reception and book signing at 6 p.m., followed by a screening of Woo’s ultra-violent action masterpiece “Hard Boiled” at 7 p.m. I will conduct a Q&A at the end of the session and sign books afterward as well.

Thanks to Sean and Anne of the Eleven Cafe in Billings, Montana for hosting the hometown book party -- an amazing event and thanks again to everyone.
Also, Jaci Webb of the Billings Gazette wrote a nice profile article, which should still be up here.
And...Ken Siebert of Yellowstone Public Radio conducted an amazing interview which can still be heard online here.
Next up: wedding invitations, turning 30 and more wedding plans.

ReelChicago.com posted a nice article, and the Chicago Journal will have a piece out the week of Oct. 17. The Chicago Reader, Time Out Chicago and New City should bits as well.
