I can now share the details of my November in-person events!  Plus, reminders for online events, including this week:

• Come to Story Hour online tomorrow evening, where author Steve Toase and I will take turns reading some of our short fiction. 
• Then on Saturday I’ll be part of the Oregon Poetry Association’s online conference, a great deal for a full day of programming—including my session, The Art of Speculative Poetry. Come learn about the long roots of this literary tradition, how speculative poetry is thriving today, and how to start exploring these genres in your own work.
• If you’re in the area on Sunday, Nov. 5, I’ll be participating in Haunted Tales and Eerie Melodies, part of the Portland Book Festival’s Cover to Cover programming.  At this free event, several other authors and myself will take turns reading our work to live musical accompaniment!  This event is hosted by the Oregon Chapter of the Horror Writers Association. 
• And the following weekend, Nov. 10-12, I’ll be at OryCon 43.  I’m scheduled for 2 panels on Friday and a reading on Sunday.  Very excited to discuss some important career considerations for writers as well as share some of my fiction and poetry. 
• And don’t forget, Elizabeth Beechwood and I will be teaching our online workshop, Creating Nonhuman Characters, through Hugo House on Nov. 18. 

Whew!  We’ll see if I can fit some writing in there, too.  I have to share, I went to my local Powell’s bookstore and found the September/October 2023 issue of Asimov’s—my first time going to a bookstore and finding a publication with one of my pieces in it!  Checking that off the bucket list.
