KGB FANTASTIC FICTION ONLINE RAFFLE

As you may have heard I’ll be taking part in the KGB Bar’s Fantastic Fiction reading Series on August 20th. In the mean time, they’re holding a raffle to raise money for this amazing reading series. From what I understand on the night that I read I get to drink for free, so for god’s sake give them the funds needed.
