No, not PM10 readings, book readings and signings...the first featuring my essays on urban sustainability, metropolitan economics, politics, culture, and all that stuff, with the second focusing on my urban noir novel (which deals with gentrification and homelessness along with the plot).

So, save TWO dates, as I now have these two readings coming up in Los Angeles....

The first will take place Sunday, May 31st, in South Pasadena, at The Battery used bookstore on Mission, right by the Gold Line Metro station. Meet at 2:30, endure some readings from my essay collection, "Our Own Day Here," mingle and browse a bit, and then saddle up (if you brought a bike) to pedal about Northeast Los Angeles a bit visiting quirky local bookstores. This will be a nice way to finish off a run through Pasadena's extremely short CicLAvia "Open Streets" event on the same day. (In collaboration with Bike Talk.)

"Our Own Day Here":

The second one will be a Muse on 8th, just around the corner from my digs, at 7:30 on June 23rd. I'll be reading from my noir novel, "The Dust Will Answer," and maybe a short story or two. Muse has great veggie-friendly food, and theres' the Little Bar next door, a warm neighborhood hang.

Hi all. Just to let you know that my book Beyond Apologies, Defining and Achieving an Economics of Wellbeing, is available for free download on various sites, including www.instituteofwellbeingbd.org, Scribd, ResearchGate, and Issuu.com. I talk a lot about transport in it. The point of the book is to help people counter the economic arguments that we always hear that slow us down, like that we need to build and sell cars to create jobs and promote economic growth. If anyone has trouble downloading it, please let me know and I'll happily send you a pdf.
What Joel Crawford says about the book: "Economics does not have to be the dismal science. Many false assumptions have crept into economics over the years. Debra clears the air and shows us how to build a prosperous and sustainable economy."
I do hope people find it useful! And if so, please follow us on Facebook (Beyond Apologies by Debra Efroymson).
Best wishes,Debra
