This video was recorded at the book launch party for my debut novel ALCESTIS, held at BookPeople in Austin, TX, on February 7, 2010.

It features me reading the prologue to ALCESTIS and describing the early events in the novel. (In person, I also read a passage from Chapter 7, as you can tell in the video, but unfortunately that bit got cut off while filming.)

If you're curious, the video was captured by a Panasonic DMC-FZ8 and edited in iMovie. All content is copyright Katharine Beutner, 2010. And yes, I am wearing bright yellow tights.
