How to buy them!
 

Canada

 For Calendar Boy:

Ask at your local bookstore. If they don't have it, bookstores can order directly through New Star Books, 1-604-738-9429, e-mail: orders@newstarbooks.com

For Slant:

Ask at your local bookstore. Bookstores in BC can order directly through Harbour Books, 1-800-667-2988 (toll-free), email: orders@harbourpublishing.com.

For BOTH: Asking your local bookstore to stock a few copies would make me very happy! Oh, also like my friend George did, you could be extra nice and ask your local library to get a copy...

Note: General Distribution Services, the company that used to distribute both books, is not handling them anymore. Please order direct from my publishers.

Or see 'internet' below...

Australia

 For Slant, in Sydney, get your copy at the bookstore closest to you: The Bookshop Darlinghurst (Oxford Street), Better Read than Dead in Newtown, or Gleebooks (Glebe). In Melbourne, get it from Hares and Hyenas or Collected Works. In Canberra, get it from Electric Shadows Bookshop. Or buy it from me either at one of my gigs, or contact me by e-mail!

For Calendar Boy, I received the unfortunate news in May 04 that Penguin accidentally pulped all remaining copies... There are a few copies out there in Australia at bookstores or used bookstores. More importantly, my lovely Canadian publishers have agreed to ship copies of the Canadian version out to me - so get your copy through The Bookshop Darlinghurst, Hares and Hyenas or get it through me (as above, at one of my gigs, or drop me a line by e-mail)

Although many of the anthologies that I've been published in by Arsenal Pulp Press are supposed to be available through Wakefield Press, I've since discovered that you'll have to order directly from the publisher - which isn't too hard to do, check out their website! Other anthologies that I've appeared in should be orderable through the internet too.
 

The rest of the world

 For Slant, please ask your supportive bookstore to order it directly from Harbour Books. For Calendar Boy, supportive bookstores can get it through New Star. In both cases, they'll be charged a trade rate plus postage and if your currency is strong compared to the Canadian one, it shouldn't be too expensive! Or see INTERNET below.
 

Internet

My books are available through the Internet if that's your thing. It's probably best to find a seller in your country for cheaper shipping costs. I of course would prefer you to buy a new copy... but a number of internet booksellers are now selling used copies of the books at cheaper prices, if that's important to you.

Anyways, here's some handy links to bookselling sites:

  • If you're Canadian, my first recommendation would be to buy them from the wonderful Little Sisters bookstore based out of Vancouver
  • If you're in the USA, A Different Light Bookstore out of San Franciso has Calendar Boy on sale online
  • And Lambda Rising from Washington, D.C. sells copies of Slant

If you prefer the mega-sites, here are the links...
