T-minus 6 days! John McCaffrey kindly did an interview with me for KGB Bar Lit. I'm doing a reading there on Sunday November 13 with the crew from the Men Undressed anthology. Check it out.
T-minus 11 days! Got some a couple events coming up in November, which I'll post shortly. But get the word out on the book. Head to facebook and "like" the page. Girls in Trouble Facebook.
T-minus 17 days until the official release of Girls in Trouble! the collection has been spotted in stores already, though, so keep your eyes open for it.
I've teamed up with Jimmie James and his troupe Playing with Actors to put on a unique evening to celebrate the launch of Girls in Trouble.

Received the advanced review copies of Girls in Trouble. Beautiful. I'm already gearing up to get the word out on the story collection. Planning some readings and an event that will (hopefully) redefine book launches. Music, actors performing passages, art. An entire show. Talking with a friend now about booking his theater space down on Canal Street. Updates to follow.
These are gems of stories, slyly, skillfully interrelated and captivating in their economy, truth, and acid wisdom.

If only the girls in Douglas Light's spellbinding collection, Girls in Trouble, knew that a storyteller with such talent and insight was telling the complicated truth of their lives. Light enters the minds, hearts, and hurts of these characters with prose that is often lyrical, and always hypnotic. You will ache for these girls, most importantly you will root for them!
--Heidi Durrow, author of The Girl Who Fell from the Sky
Jill Dearman conducted an interview with me for her Barnes & Noble blog. My story collection, Girls in Trouble, was selected by Peter Ho Davies for the 2010 Grace Paley Prize . East Fifth Bliss is now a feature film starring Michael C. Hall, Lucy Liu, Chris Messina, Sarah Shahi, Brad Henke, Brie Larson, and Peter Fonda. Read the announcement in Variety.
E5B got front page mention in the NY Times business section. Also, a nice shout-out in the Post's Page Six. And check out a Q&A and a piece on the building that inspired the novel on EV Grieve, the blog for all things East Village.
Also, I received a 2010 NoMAA/JP Morgan grant for my just completed novel Where Night Stops. Advanced praise for Girls in Trouble
