When author Leslie What brought a copy of
City of Weird: 30 Otherworldly Portland Tales to the cash register at
Powell's in Portland, Ore., she was surprised and delighted to find fellow
City of Weird contributor Jason Squamata working. Jason signed Leslie's book as editor Gigi Little, marketing coordinator for Powell's, looked on. Powell's staffers Doug Chase and Kevin Sampsell also contributed stories to
City of Weird (Forest Avenue Press, October 2016). The launch attracted 200 attendees and featured a conversation with authors Rene Denfeld, Mark Russell, Brigitte Winter and Dan DeWeese.
