Hi. Remember me?

Posted By: Peter DavidPosted On:

Been out of town for the better part of a week and been off line for a bit. I’m out on the West Coast, having attended the recording session for another episode of “Young Justice” I’ve written. Caroline’s with me, giving Kathleen the time she needs to focus on various projects for Dragon*Con.

Tomorrow Caroline and I will likely be attending the D23 Expo. So if any of you are swinging by and see me, give us a wave.

Elementary, my Dear Virginia

Posted By: Peter DavidPosted On:

Well, actually Middle School, not Elementary. Apparently “A Study in Scarlet”–the introduction to Sherlock Holmes–has been removed from a reading list in the Albermarle school district in Virginia because there were objections to the way Mormons were portrayed in it (since they were essentially depicted as a murdering, blackmailing cult).

In case you’re keeping score, Virginia was also the state that fought to the bitter end for the preservation of bans on interracial marriage. It’s also the home of Congressman Virgil Goode who sent around an email insisting that immigration laws had to be tightened up in order to make sure that Muslims didn’t flood into the US and wind up getting elected to high offices.

Perhaps Albermarle may want to consider publishing their own version, and every place in the story where the word “Mormon” is used, they can substitute “Black” or perhaps “Muslim.”

“Camelot Papers” at Dragon*Con

Posted By: Peter DavidPosted On:

I’ve been asked if I’m going to be selling copies of the trade paperback of “The Camelot Papers” at Dragon*Con.

Yes and no.

I have a limited number of uncorrected proofs that I’m selling as collector’s items. They are significantly more than the on line price of $15.99. So if you want to obtain autographed trade paperback copies at the list price, I suggest you purchase them from either Amazon.com or createspace.com.
