I'm publishing my first novel, The Dinner Party, on November 4th, and I wanted to do a reading, and Q&A ahead of that, with the hope of letting people get a feel for what the book is.Chapter 1 is available for free already on MichaelChristopherCole.com, and I will not be reading that chapter, so you may want to go download that ahead of this reading to get even more familiar.The book is an exploration of the sexual and emotional maturation of a young man from about age 14 until his mid-thirties. It explores these themes frankly, and so I don't recommend attending this reading with a younger audience.Please join me on August 21st, and hopefully we'll have a great evening together, virtually!
