Last Monday I was down at Empire Books and News in Huntington, West Virginia, taking part in a cool monthly event called Writers Can Read.
It’s pretty simple – gather some writers together and have them read some from their work. Each month has a couple of featured writers, then a kind of open-mic section for anyone who wants to join in. After hearing from poets Ace Boggess and Neil Carpathios and a few other folks, I had a good time reading a scene from The Water Road.
I’ll be back at Empire this Saturday, July 30, for not one but two signing events! But I won’t be alone. From 11am to 1pm and then again from 6 to 8pm, I’ll be there along with several other local writers of the fantastical:
Michele Zirkle Marcum
Wayne Ferguson
Charles Romans
Dr. William Grimes (11am only)
Stewart Lucas (6pm only)
Michael Knost (6pm only)
The second signing session leads right into Empire’s event for the rollout of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child that will be available starting at midnight.
I’ll be there with copies of all three of my books, including The Water Road. Stop by, say hi, get a signed copy of a book (or three!). See you then!
