FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Book Launch for “Toy Wars” and “An Eighty Percent Solution” Yelm, Washington – March 6, 2013 - When it comes to nights out, none is more traditional than First Thursday in Portland, Oregon.  On the first Thursday of each month all the art galleries in the Pearl District open their doors to the public for a fresh exhibit. Simultaneously, small businesses and other artistic events occur during this evening. Joining fellow Creatives, the independent publisher TANSTAAFL Press is hosting their first Book Launch Party on April’s First Thursday.  Like any true Portland event, the three B’s are covered: Beer, Beards and Books.   The event showcases the release of two new science fiction novels by Tom Gondolfi.  The first, An Eighty Percent Solution, is the beginning of a series about an underground movement trying to take down the corporate oligarchy.  The book’s theme follows the construction of a company assessment of individual value, paralleled by a writing style from the perspective of a project performance plan. The second book, Toy Wars, creatively illustrates a story about mining factories delivered to remote worlds.  In a program malfunction, a mining factory gets its memories mixed up with that of a toy store, resulting in the creation of a sentient 2-meter tall purple teddy bear on a quest to end the genocide of its own kind.   If you are a science fiction fan, an independent book seller, member of the press or interested in supporting local writers, come join us on April 4th, First Thursday in the heart of the Pearl for the first ever TANSTAAFL Press Book Launch Party. The author will mingle and answer questions about his books, writing style or TANSTAAFL Press itself. Bring your literature loving friends and show your support – it will also be your chance to get a signed copy of the books! Both books will be available for purchase at the party.
