We also are proud to announce that the Honors College of USFSP is an official sponsor! This is indeed promising for future events!

We really mean that.

No, seriously. We do.

St. Pete Reads is proud to present: Tim Dorsey!

St. Pete Reads is throughly excited to announce that on September 3rd, 2010 at The St. Pete Pier NY Times bestseller Tim Dorsey will be reading for our event!!!

Tim has had wild success with his novels based around his utterly insane recurring character Serge A. Storms. They’re wickedly funny books.

Trust us. We are very careful about what we call “wickedly funny”.

Tim’s next novel, Electric Barracuda, is due out in January 2011, and we were lucky enough to score him for our event. 

Apparently, he uses a rubber chicken while he’s reading. He’s that cool.

More news at it comes. We are hoping Cha-Cha Coconuts does a Tim Dorsey-themed drink (ala “The Zombie Drink Special” that was done for the release of Zombie St. Pete).

The Pier should be jumping that weekend; apparently there will be an Inventor’s Fair, Salsa, and a Corvette Show too!

You Are Special.

The Next St. Pete Reads is going down at the Books at Park Place.  We had originally said The Globe, but there was double-booking.  The date is still July 24th, but the time has been changed to 5:00PM.

There may be some improv storytelling too. You’ll just have to come and see for yourself…

Come on down and Be Special with these exciting and entertaining readers:

• Maureen McDole, poet
• Diane Marcou, co-author of Smuggler’s Ghost
• Aaron Alper, Zombie Nation Publishing

  As always, St. Pete Reads sponsor Books at Park Place will be on site with books in hand.  Bring your reading allowance money!
