Upcoming events

Somehow it’s already July! That means it’s book launch month, and that I’m going to be doing a lot of fun events. All of the following are online except the reading on

Wednesday, July 13, 9 PM Central (2 AM GMT): Story Hour featuring yours truly and Karl Dandenell. (FB Live and Zoom info at the link above). I’ll be reading a story from All the Hometowns You Can’t Stay Away From.

Thursday, July 14, 7 PM Central (midnight GMT): “The Imagination of Resistance: Community and Solidarity in Speculative Fiction” panel discussion at the 1455 Festival of Storytelling. Featuring me, Craig Laurance Gidney, RB Lemberg, Victor Manibo, and dave ring. Info about attending the festival is as the link above.

Thursday, July 21, 7 PM Central (midnight GMT): The wonderful Argo bookshop is presenting an evening of reading and discussion. I’ll be appearing alongside my dear friends (and Clarion West 2017 classmates) Andrea Chapela, Elly Bangs, Iori Kusano, Gordon B White, and Emma Törzs.

Andrea is hosting the event, Emma is moderating the Q&A, and we’ll be reading from each other’s work! Come hear us share some of our favorite works and genuinely just love on one another! Register via EventBrite.

Tuesday, July 26, 5 PM Central (10 PM GMT): “That Classic You Always Meant To Read.” I’ll be co-facilitating with the brilliant Alexandra Manglis a discussion of Ursula K. Le Guin’s The Word for World is Forest. You can register for free here, though registration is limited to those participating in Clarion West’s write-a-thon. Registration for the write-a-thon is free and available here.

Wednesday, July 27, 6 PM Central (11 PM GMT): I’ll be appearing on Neon Hemlock Live! I’ll read something and try not to be too obvious about how bad I am at using Instagram’s video features.

Tuesday, AUGUST 23, 7 PM Central: [Note the new date!] I’ll be appearing live and in-person at The Raven bookstore in Lawrence, KS. The Raven’s been my beloved local bookstore for many years, and I couldn’t be more thrilled that they’re hosting the in-person release celebration for All the Hometowns You Can’t Stay Away From!

That’s a lot of events with a lot of awesome people. I hope to see you there!
