This is Nate. He drove all the way from Florida to attend today’s signing with Wrath James White, Aron Beauregard, Kristopher Triana, Daniel Volpe, Judith Sonnet, Shane McKenzie, and Lucas Mangum from 4-7. So I don’t want to hear that you couldn’t drive 30 minutes.

Well, no one had books to recycle but they did have all this (and bizarrely enough, someone donated a butter knife...or maybe it got left behind by accident). Hauling them to the homeless and recovery center now. Thanks to our customers for donating.

It's really weird to support an author who, according to a police report, threatened to murder his wife and newborn child, and who has engaged in misogynistic public attacks on a number of women. Are *you* okay? As to your second question, here ya go.

Vortex Books & Comics @vortexbooksncomics.bsky.social · 29/08/2024

From now until 8/31, bring your Patrick Tomlinson books to Vortex Books & Comics for recycling, and we'll give you store credit equal to the cover price. For each book, we'll donate a can of food to the local shelter. (Inspired by Mr. Tomlinson's ill-advised burst of manic vitriol yesterday).
