Warren Adler on Second Life

New York Times bestselling author Warren Adler has teamed up with Amazon Shorts to deliver a series of fascinating chats within the social network metaverse Second Life. The first of five hour-long events took place on February 21st, where Adler and a host of interested authors and readers discussed his Amazon Shorts, such as "Good Neighbors" and "The Mean Mrs. Dickstein." The remaining four chats take place on Thursdays at noon PST, from February 29th to March 20th. If you have a Second Life, just join the group named "Warren Adler Fans" for reminders before each event. Come join us as Adler discusses issues ranging from the aftermath of 9/11 and how it affected his life and writing, to the heyday era of the Borscht Belt - the subject of his upcoming novel Funny Boys, and more!
