There's a fun event at McNally-Jackson -- my favorite bookstore -- this evening in Soho. (And additional locations below.) Four gay, young adult fiction authors will be discussing LGBT young adult literature, as well as their new books -- yet another sign of progress for the LGBT community that our YA lit is going mainstream. Join Bill Konigsberg (author of "Openly Straight"), Alex London (author of "Proxy"), Aaron Hartzler (author of "Rapture Practice"), at 7 p.m. for a discussion of LGBT YA fiction. Moderated by David Levithan, author of "Boy Meets Boy." Details HERE.
From here, they will be in a few more cities before coming to to NYC on the 22nd:
