Oh, Timmy Christ-an ANOINTED event

So you say that you just don’t want to attend your “average”, “every-day” book reading (yet you’d pay 30 bucks to see Amy Hempel and Chuck Palahniuk talk about sneakers)? You say you want entertainment and awesomeness and…and…Decatur’s favorite gay acoustic indie-pop folk singer Wayne Fishell, all as a part of your literary evening?

Well, by gosh by jingle, I have something for you!

As you had better know by now (because otherwise as a publicist I suck), Zachary Steele’s debut novel Anointed: The Passion of Timmy Christ, CEO is both funny AND has a very wordy title. But did you also know that he will be “in conversation” (not about sneakers) with one Wayne Fishell TONIGHT (April 23) at Bound To Be Read Books in East Atlanta?

From the write-up on the event’s Facebook page, which I wrote and is therefore brilliant promotional copy:

Zachary Steele’s book event at East Atlanta Village’s Bound To Be Read bookstore on April 23rd at 7:30 PM will find him in conversation with a fellow reader, fellow ponderer/questioner and fellow animal-lover who also happens to be a beloved, brilliant local award-winning folk-singer- Wayne Fishell, of the wayne fishell experiment. Their topics of conversation will range from Anointed’s deep, controversial and far-reaching themes of the corporation modern religious practice has become, how to market a book and what it’s like being a first-time novelist to, in fact, the best sorts of cheeses to pair with other foods. It will, indeed, be a night of a round table. Possibly incorporating an actual round table.

Both Wayne and Zachary are hilarious, offensive, witty and opinionated on their own, so this evening is certain to be informative and incendiary for anyone interested in writing, religion, or, of course, cheese. They might even duet on a rousing rendition of “Swing Low, Sweet Chariot”, so bring your rotten tomatoes, your communion wine and your ukuleles.

Go on. You know that little part of you that KNOWS what kind of a freak show this is going to be really, really wants to be up front and center and ask Zach things like “your character names…REALLY? Chipper? Do you ever think of things not cheese or baseball related?”
