We're on for LitBlogger's Jan 26!

Guys!

Please check out Eric's blog:

There will be no Breakfast Club for LitBloggers in December 2007

COMING IN JANUARY 2008

The 11th MPH Breakfast Club for LitBloggers on Saturday, January 26, 2008, will be featuring the Malaysian Prince of Darkness, Tunku Halim, whose collection of ghostly tales, 44 Cemetery Road: The Best of Tunku Halim (MPH Publishing, May 2007), was published in May 2007. Touted as Malaysia’s very own Stephen King, Halim, who is equally adept at both fiction and nonfiction, has another collection of new and selected stories out, Gravedigger’s Kiss: More of Tunku Halim (MPH Publishing, October 2007).

Dark City (Midnight Press, 2006) author Xeus is back with Dark City 2 (Midnight Press, 2008), this time as the editor of a brand-new collection of more stories that exposes the murkiness that lurks beneath life’s apparent ordinariness. Of course, she has a story or two tucked into this collection as well. There are stories by Lydia Teh, Tunku Halim, John Ling, Bissme, Jennifer Wan, Chua Kok Yee and a host of others as well.

Eric Forbes will be introducing Tunku Halim and Xeus while Janet Tay will be moderating the session.


SOOOOOOO.... who would like to be in this panel? Everyone who has contributed a story to Dark City 2 is welcome. It will be an extremely fun meet with everybody there. Please respond if you can come.

Xeus, Dark City and Tunku Halim's books are synergistic to a certain extent, don't you think. Hopefully CNY preparations won't be in the way and I'll be able to go.

Lydia, I think Eric thought so too :)
Please please do come. Bake your cookies early! Argus can help you!

Hey, ladies! Too bad I'm 10,000km away... but my spirit will be hovering scarily - with a heavy glass bowl and a knife in hand - near you gals and guys during the get-together.

hi Xeus,

The book is out in MPH MidValley. It was in the 'New' shelf, and also prominently displayed on one of the rack near the Malaysia Collection area.

Thanks so much for the alert, Kok Yee. I sped off an email to MPH MidValley to thank them already. Will you be able to speak on the LitBlogger's Club?

Hi, dear!

Missed you around... And myself too, I suppose. I've been hunting for the book too, and really, it's quite difficult to find a store with one. I've tried MPH Summit (though apparently, now they have it), MPH & Popular in The Curve, and some other places.

Is it a distribution issue?

Anyway, will try and catch you in January; would be lovely to catch up with you and Tunku at the same time.

You take care! *hugs*

Yvonne, I'm hoping all the other contributors will talk instead of me. Hee hee:)

Jenn, wish you can be here.

Kenny, I really miss you too. The book is up now everywhere, I'm told. It takes 1 month! Please do catch up.

Can you also put up your lovely cover at your blog?
