Upcoming Events Online and at AWP

Somehow the first month of 2024 is almost behind us. Where does the time go? For me, the answer has been, in no particular order: teaching, writing, getting ready for the launch of These Fragile Graces, This Fugitive Heart, and re-watching Deadwood.

In the next couple of weeks I’ll be doing multiple events. I hope to see see you at them!

ONLINE: Wednesday, 1/31 (tomorrow!) at 10 pm Eastern/7 pm Pacific I’ll be reading short fiction on Story Hour along with Wole Talabi. Zoom and Facebook links are available at the link. I’ll be reading two very short stories that are among my personal favorites.

KANSAS CITY: Saturday, 2/10 at 1:45 pm Central at be be participating in the AWP panel “The Trans Fantastic: Craft, Themes, Reception” along with an amazing group of panelists: Alina Boyden, Maya Deane, Megan Milks and Nino Cipri. Location: Room 2504AB, Kansas City Convention Center, Level 2.

LAWRENCE, KS: Also on Saturday, 2/10 at 7 pm Central, join me, Emma Törzs, and Abbey Mei Otis at the Raven Bookstore in Lawrence Kansas for a reading. Emma and Abbey are immensely talented writers and awesome people. Not only will this be a very fun event, but you’ll have a chance to buy copies of Emma and Abbey’s gorgeous books and there should be some fun incentives for those who want to pre-order These Fragile Graces, This Fugitive Heart! Those in attendance will also be among the first people ever to hear me read from it. Location: 809 Massachusetts Street, Lawrence, KS.

There are many bookstores that I love, but the Raven has a special place in my heart. Even though I no longer live in Kansas, it will always be my local bookstore and it’s one of my very favorite places in the world. If you’re in the area, I hope you’ll come by and say hello!

But wait, there’s more: I’ll have more events to announce, including the official book launch for These Fragile Graces, This Fugitive Heart, very soon!
