Another Sunday Night Reading in Second Life

My soccer game is late on Sunday, and I want to celebrate being the first author ever selling fiction for the iPhone/iPod Touch. So, what I’m going to do is another reading.

I’m going to be reading the story The Silver Knife. It’s one of the stories I have for sale in my store, in Second Life and for the iPhone/Ipod Touch. It was a story I’d wanted to write for roughly 13 years before I got around to doing it. Set in 1923 London it involves all sorts of weirdness, including Tsarist exiles, German Mystics, Mycroft Holmes and the insane politics of Europe between the wars. It’s one of my favorite stories, and I can’t wait to read it for you.

So, how can you come to this reading? I’ll be reading in Second Life, at 9 pm Eastern/6 pm Pacific (which is also game time). I’ll be doing the reading in voice-chat, so you’ll need to enable that function and have a pair of headphones. The reading should take about an hour, including a question-and-answer session afterward.

The event is free and will be a bunch of fun.

Boilerplate below about Second Life. You can learn more at The Second Life web page. Check it out, download the software, and come on in and chat.

Second Life, for those who have never chatted online, is a graphical chat interface. It does not cost money to register or use. It operates on a “micro-economy” model, which is to say that you can uses it for free, but you can do a lot more if you just pay a little more here and there. I sell books in Second Life to cover the costs of promoting my work and having the space to hold seminars. Lots of other wildly creative people turn out really cool products to feed their habits, too.

If you hit the link above, download the software and head into Second Life, you can find me by searching for “Noble Charron.” That’s the name of my alter-ego in the world of SL. You can find the bookstore by searching on books, or ThirdLife, or clicking on this convenient link, which will take you directly there. When you arrive, please click on the sign at the front of Wordsmith Hall, so you can be added to the ThirdLife group, so I can get you announcements about things we will be doing.
