Canadian indie magazine royalty, Broken Pencil, recently reviewed the DSP short story collection, Caffeine Fueled Revelation Machines, and here’s the nutshell version…

<drumroll please>

“In worlds of sputtering fluorescent office bulbs, blinking switchboards and space shuttles, Lester’s characters inhale confusion and exhale indecision… A commendable first collection.”

To read the review in its entirety (and for all your other Canadian indie lit needs) check out the Broken Pencil website.

A story of love and hate and paying the ultimate price for fame.

So come celebrate the launch of this debut novel from R. Daniel Lester and Dirt Starling Press.

There’ll be readings, live music (a killer acoustic set by Nick Fletcher of Nick Fletcher + the Ballet Academy), and of course, The Greedy Pig’s well-stocked bar/kitchen.
