Genre Agnostic Speculative Fiction
This year started out fast and busy around here, and I have all kinds of fun things to share!
The first goes back to last year, when I entered my very short story “The Spider Who Ate the Elephant” into the Golden Nib Contest for The Virginia Writers Club. My home group The Appalachian Authors Guild surprised me by picking it as their winning entry. Then I was even more pleasantly surprised when it took second place in fiction statewide!
Local-ish folks, Jason A. Adams and I will be out and about for the holidays! We’re launching The Occasional Bookstore right here in St. Paul, Virginia, based at the Mountain Heritage Museum and Gallery.
These dates are a perfect chance to shop local with us and other great small businesses around town!
More local authors will be joining in, so read on for dates and more information.
(An update from Spiral Publishing that I couldn’t be happier about! For the first time, I have more pre-orders for my Voices through Time novella Walking the Ghosts in Large Print than standard.)
With our Large Print editions selling well over the summer, we decided to make that format available for all of our novellas, novels, and collections (when possible, more on that later). We’re delighted to have this format available for anyone who needs or just wants it.
If you’re going to be out and about near Richlands, Virginia, this weekend, be sure and stop by and celebrate Summerfest! Jason A. Adams and I will be set up with other local artists and vendors from 4 pm to 9 pm, and Summerfest will have fun events going on for everyone.
I’m tickled to be heading back to Cooks and Books right here in St. Paul on Saturday July 27th! Join me, Jason A. Adams, and a bunch of other great local artists and business folks from 6 to 8 pm for a great cause, great books, and great food.
This year I’m even more excited about the event because I’m putting together a special limited edition book that will be for sale that night only and benefit Cooks and Books!
Jason and I will be joining in the fun at the fifth Johnson City ZineFest, just down the road in Johnson City, Tennessee!
Mark your calendars for Saturday August 24, 2019, from 6 pm to 10 pm, and meet us at The Willow Tree Coffee House & Music Room right downtown.
More details as we get ’em. Hope to see you there!
