Has a week gone by already?!  My head is still spinning from the flurry that was Seattle Worldcon. 

Some of my highlights: 

I got to hang out with two of my good writing friends, Maggie Slater and Rachel Unger!  Maggie and I hadn’t seen each other in person in many, many years.  It was like no time had passed.  And having Rachel in the mix was an absolute blast. 

I got to meet the editor who gave me my first sale, David Stokes of Guardbridge Books, and thank him for taking a chance on a new writer back in the day. 

I also got to meet up with my mentor, the amazing A. T. Greenblatt, who never fails to inspire me. 

I spotted “in the wild” the special prerelease edition of a new anthology I have a story in, The Muddy Goose Guide to the Weird Northwest. 

I met some outstanding fellow poets at a meetup of the Science Fiction & Fantasy Poetry Association, as well as when I performed selections of my poetry at a group reading and participated on a panel. 

Now I’m prepping for another reading next weekend, as part of Portland’s Chatter PDX series.  The theme for the upcoming event is A Midsummer Night’s Dream, and you’d better believe I’ll be bringing the fairy poetry.
