New book: "Dubultnieki un citi stāsti"

A break from my blogging-hiatus to announce that my short story collection "Dubultnieki un citi stāsti" (translated to my native Latvian by the capable Ingus Josts) is now out in stores. This is my first book-length publication. I'm very pleased with how it has turned out. If you're in Riga on Dec 15, drop by my book launch - 6 p.m., K. Valdemara 6 (in the Zvaigzne bookshop).

Proof of bookage:

For Latvian speakers, some early reviews are available here.

That's that. Back to radio silence now. I'm living in Riga, working on novels these days and don't expect I'll bother much with blogging until I have something to announce on that front.

USans: I'm planning a long US trip in the spring (NY, MA, CO, CA, OR) so drop me a line if you want to meet up.
