Bantam Dell Brings Dean Koontz to SL 3/15
If you dig the suspensful thrills of novelist Dean Koontz, then log in to the virtual world of Second Life tonight at 6:00pm SL Time (9:00pm Eastern), for the premiere of Bantam Dell’s Authors in Second Life series (which we stumbled on last month). Koontz will read from his upcoming book, The Good Guy, then take questions from the audience. (Ask him about Odd Thomas, which sounds like it has more to do with the virtual.) Audience members will also have a chance to win a first edition of The Good Guy, which they’ll receive two weeks before it hits store shelves.
The one-hour event will be held at the »Bantam Dell Book Shop« on Sheep Island, and streamed into nine other sims. (The event is being produced by thge Sheep, who are, as you know, sponsors of this blog.) To join the Q&A, sign up for the Second Life group “The Bantam Dell Book Cafe,” which has free open enrollment.

A pretty cool event. Audio from Mr. Koontz came in clear, and the facility and setting for the author were nice. An event photoset taken at the Bantam Dell shop is at http://www.flickr.com/photos/seesaw8/sets/72157600003019925/
