Good evening, ladies and gentle-fops. I come to you on the decline of this fine, fine Groundhog’s Day with startling, amazing, terrific news:

Perhaps., by Stephen Schwegler, is now available for pre-order.



Yes, you read that right, Perhaps. is now available for pre-order. In our store.
Perhaps. is due in all your usual retail establishments on March 15th, 2010, but we, being the wonderful people we are, have decided to open up pre-orders for it for the month of February.

You can order it as a classic paperback or in the extra fancy “author signed” edition. I can’t promise you that Steve’s handwriting will be legible, but I can promise that the ink will be free of blood. He was against that for some reason.

All pre-orders will be personally packaged with love and good intentions and will ship on March 15th.

You can find an excerpt from the collection, the short story “Jesus Was Broke,” here. Read it, love it, buy it. In whatever order you want.

And when you’re done, don’t forget to check out Issue Five! Free and online, just the way Mama used to make it.

“Hello, my name is Jerry and my friend here would like to talk to you about Perhaps. by Stephen Schwegler. Go ahead, Santa.”

“Squeak.”

“Nice. Would you like to tell us a few of your favorite lines from this book?”

“Squeak.”

“Yeah, those are pretty great. For those of you who are not fluent in chipmunk:

‘And besides, Heaven has E-Z Pass.’

‘Lay a body out, chop it up and store it in Tupperware.’

‘Must provide own uniform.’

‘The room didn’t flow.’

‘Moo.’

‘Not now, I need to call a locksmith.’

‘See I was healing these lepers, said the wrong thing and, poof, here I am.’

‘Eat one and I’ll let you go.’

‘That’s because you’re trying to open it with your feet.’

‘I think he referred to him as a “deranged crack head.”‘

Wait, that last one wasn’t about me, right?”

“Squeak.”

“OK, good.”
