After Inside StoryTime, a monthly event at the Rickshaw Stop, Michelle Richmond and Michael Disend signing their books before swapping.

Michelle Richmond's novel, A Year of Fog, is currently a San Francisco Chronicle bestseller and takes place in San Francisco. But, she didn't read from the book at Inside StoryTime. Instead she read a saucy story about a husband and wife shopping for a corset....with an unexpected horrifying ending.

Michael Disend's book, Stomping the Goyim, was described by William S. Burroughs as "a seminal novel of the 60's." Michael is not only a writer, but also an actor and a hypnotist, which explains is engaging presence on stage. For his performance as the lead in the 2003 film, Attitude, the New York Times described his character as "tall, reedy, and manically energetic."
