Writers with Drinks this Weekend and a few other things
Hell-o All,
I’ll be reading this coming Saturday night! I’m reading with a bunch of cool writers and it’s for a good cause, so come along and say hello.
All the info is below. In other news– I have an interview up at Side of Grits (great name) and work forthcoming on Rusty Truck, Outsider Writers, and 580 Split.
There are also two other things to check out, first Melissa Hansen has come out out with little beasts which shouldn’t be missed. If you need convincing make sure and read my review of this anticipated book. Another do not miss is the latest from Paul Corman Robert’s Neo(Commuter.)
And don’t forget to come along on Saturday–
