I can't contain my excitement over our brand spankin' new literary series that we're launching this week. Martini bars and writers go together very well, and that's why we've partnered up with  The Red Door in downtown Portsmouth.  We'll be hosting a bunch of innovative, talented contemporary authors at The Red Door on an ongoing basis, and we're kicking it off on Tuesday, February 24th at 7pm with comic novelist G. Xavier Robillard.  He'll be reading from Captain Freedom, a novel that is praised by RiverRun staff favorite Christopher Moore as ""a truly funny and energetic romp of a social satire, a terrific send up of not only of superheroes, but the cult of personality in general."

You can read more about the event here and you can read a review with Robillard in this week's Wire.

We'll also be hosting Jedediah Berry at The Red Door on March 10th. His debut novel, The Manual of Detection, has earned him some comparisons to Kafka and Paul Auster.  

See you at The Red Door!
