Both Mantids (hardcover) and the new paperback of Hammers are available for preorder on both the Target and Amazon sites, among others.
I've posted a PDF of Chapter 5 of my upcoming novel Mantids at www.rondakron.com. The specific URL is http://blackheron.mav.net/dakron/c5.pdf.

Great Spokane Reading
Laurie, Jerry, Judith and I read at the GetLit! Spokane festival. It's probably now the biggest literary festival in Washington State--hear that Seattle? What happened to Bumbershoot?
Spokane itself is a strange city, a mix of nice folks, bumpkin boosterism and spare change artists. They have some amazing architecture, including the biggest Masonic Temple I've ever seen, complete with pharaoh busts and carved hieroglyphics. We read at the Spokane Club, a hodgepodge of health club, opera singers (for real!) and dowdy couches. But more people showed up to listen than to read, which is always a great sign. Later Saturday there was a lit get-together with chilled asparagus and pricey liquor. We drank and didn't talk to anyone.
