CANCELLED: “Uncontacted Frontier” Book Launch at Arts at the Armory, May 30, 2020

UPDATE: I’VE DECIDED IT’S BEST THAT I CANCEL my in-person launch for my new book, “Uncontacted Frontier” on May 30. You can still buy the book from Amazon and Barnes & Noble when it comes out. The publisher, Moonshine Cove Publishing, is still shooting for a production date of April 21, 2020.

——————————-

I’ve reserved the Arts at the Armory Café for the launch of my new book, “Uncontacted Frontier,” for Saturday, May 30, 2020 from 3:00-4:30 PM. It’s located at 191 Highland Ave #1c, Somerville, MA 02143. I hope everyone can attend!
