Upcoming Readings: Calgary, Singapore

I'll be reading from All-Day Breakfast at Shelf Life Books in Calgary at 7 pm on Monday, June 8. (My sister will receive her Social Work degree in Calgary on June 4, plus there's the zoo, Drumheller and my wife's cousin's farm outside Rimbey to explore.) Calgarian and old pal Lee Shedden will acquire drums and drummer for the event. Thank you, Lee.

Plus! I'll be appearing at the Singapore Writers Festival, thirteen thousand kilometres away, from November 6 - 8. Astounding. May read from older works Empress of Asia and Kingdom of Monkeys since, well, they're set in varying degrees in Singapore while All-Day Breakfast is in Nebraska.

SunFM Penticton Interview

 

 

Fun-time interview with Alysha Williams: "Local author/professor, Adam Lewis Schroeder stopped by this afternoon to talk sentient zombies, bacon, school field trips and of course, Thriller."

"Local professor" hints that I'm doddering, bearded and absent-minded, which is correct.

After the interview, Sheryl MacKay actually, fittingly, played "Indiana Wants Me" by R. Dean Taylor, so here's that too:
