Marketing 'Winifred'

I'm finally getting started marketing 'Winifred'. I will be doing my first public reading (outside of Kauai) in the middle of March in San Francisco and then a private reading in Larkspur followed hopefully, by a public reading/signing somewhere in Marin County.

In the meantime, 'Winifred' is available on line at AuthorHouse.com , as well as Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Borders Books, etc.

Fun First Book Reading

I just want to thank everybody who showed up for my first book reading of 'Winifred.' It was a lot of fun and I enjoyed all the questions you threw at me. You really made me think! I hope everybody enjoys the book and I look forward to seeing you all again soon.

Winifred Reading in Kauai

Tonight is the official (pre) launch of Winifred! I will be reading, doing a q & a and signing books at the Kapaa Public Library at 1464 Kuhio Highway on the Island of Kauai. The event starts at 7:00 p.m. HST and will feature coffee and pineapple cake. If you're on the Island of Kauai or are so inclined to be there, come join me tonight.

A Shot of Malaria - From the editor

Charlie Soubyʼs A Shot of Malaria is the quintessence of San Francisco sub culture in the early nineties. Fans of Raymond Carver, James St. James, Jack Kerouac and Chuck Palahniuk, will flock to this book to feed off its twisted, poignant truth and wrap themselves in the exquisiteness of the modern beatnik prose. Souby has immortalized an era and shared with us the journey out of purposelessness. Trouble escalates on every page and readers are wrenched through enriched senses, emotions, and psychosis.

This work is a star example of literary artfulness, resonating on all levels with the reader. Vitality erupts from the page in sensory detail, engaging the reader in high definition of the moment with no dullness or bland descriptions. The sex of the book is an emotional hurricane that rips heart strings from those relating to the struggle for intimacy. The mental reader will get delight totally immersed in this case study of addiction. And in splashes here and there we are uplifted from these things to get a glimmer at something transcendent. Soubyʼs A Shot of Malaria speaks multi generationally of a universal plight and honors the confession of desire. His work should be read by any street soldier searching for his grave.
