Signing Books at the Printer's Row Book Fair

On Saturday June 7, I'll be signing copies of Chicago Noir (Akashic Books, 2005) at the Printer's Row Book Fair. Not sure of the exact time yet, but it will be something like 2 or 3 o'clock. My pals and fellow contributors Amy Sayre-Roberts and Bayo Ojikutu will be there as well.

Update 5/14: We'll be at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign tent from 3:30-4 on Saturday June 7.
