X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:<p>The beloved internet humorist makes a spec
 ial appearance during the Local Author Fest to discuss his debut novel. <e
 m>Two Truths and a Lie</em> introduces an unforgettable investigator to th
 e drowned streets of L.A. in a hugely imaginative and heartfelt blend of n
 oir and cyberpunk.</p>\n<p>In a mostly underwater near-future Los Angeles\
 , aging combat-drone veteran Orr Vue now lives a simple and small life\, t
 rading snippets of what's become the most valuable currency: information. 
 So when the cops show up at his door looking for data on a murder he&rsquo
 \;s not even aware has happened\, things get interesting for the first tim
 e in 25 years.</p>\n<p>At first\, Orr is happy to exchange whatever he kno
 ws about the demise of InfoDrip&rsquo\;s top exec to buy booze and pay ren
 t on his memory storage\, but that plan goes to hell when Orr&rsquo\;s old
  boyfriend\, Auggie Wolf\, shows up as the number one suspect. Forced to s
 tretch his atrophied spy skills and take his illegal horde of drones out o
 f retirement alongside his busted knees\,&nbsp\;Orr finds himself in the c
 rosshairs of the militarized police\, a family of megarich corporate heirs
 \, a clan of emancipated AIs\, and a cult. Barely avoiding getting killed 
 with every clue he collects\, Orr realizes he's uncovered not just a murde
 r\, but a conspiracy that threatens Auggie&rsquo\;s very existence.&nbsp\;
 </p>\n<p>Fast-paced\, funny\, and shockingly romantic\,&nbsp\;<em>Two Trut
 hs and a Lie</em>&nbsp\;is Raymond Chandler reinvented for the 22nd&nbsp\;
 century.</p>\n<p>Books will be for sale and the event will conclude with a
  book signing. The event will be held in the Brenner Room.</p>\n<p></p>\n<
 p>Cory O'Brien&nbsp\;is the author of&nbsp\;<em>Zeus Grants Stupid Wishes<
 /em>&nbsp\;and&nbsp\;<em>George Washington Is Cash Money</em>.&nbsp\;He ha
