The official release/book signing party for Gennebar Rising Part I: Awakenings is set for Saturday evening, October 7, 2017 in Pittsburgh. The e-book and soft cover print editions will launch on Amazon shortly before then. I expect to have a stack of hard cover collector editions to autograph and distribute to friends, relations and collaborators at the get-together. Lots of my musician friends have been invited and we’ll have a great Old Time Music jam there. I’ll be posting pictures afterwards, so watch this space!
