Road Trip Advisory!

Is anybody out there? More precisely, is anyone in Austin, Texas, preferably within the realms of this particular universe / dimension, interested in taking a road trip to St. Louis, Missouri? Maybe you just need a ride up there? Maybe you like sitting in a car for 36 hours? I don’t know. What I do know, is that I need to drive up to St. Louis before the end of the month of July. I do know that I am not entirely sure whether or not my car can make the trip – that bit of information will start to come to light after I take my car in for a check up. If it can make the trip, there is a working AC and there will be a large dog in the back seat. His name is Brutus, and he is very nice. However, he does have a tendency to slobber a lot and let out an atomic fart every once in a while. Other than that, he is totally harmless.

The reason for this trip? I need to deliver several boxes of books to Elva Maxine Beach who happens to live in St. Louis where she just bought a house. I could very well use some sort of shipping company, but I figure it would end up costing more or less the same amount, and I not only need to deliver lots of boxes filled with books to Maxine, I would also love to sit down with her, have a couple of beers, and have a conversation or two. You see, the boxes in question will be filled with hard copies and soft cover copies of the book “NEUROTICA,” a collection of short stories that Elva Maxine Beach wrote and that I published.

This trip will be an official New Belleville Press trip. Our first NBP road trip.

Who would like to take part of this historic occasion?
