On Thursday, October 10, I invite you to join me for the Royal City Literary Arts Society reading series Tellers of Short Tales, which goes from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. at the Anvil Centre (4th Floor Room 413A, 777 Columbia St) in New Westminster. If you're reading this post, please, consider this your formal invitation. And oh yeah, admission is free.
Joshua Pantalleresco and I conclude our conversation on his podcast Just Joshing after the events of Creative Ink. We talk about what people want, random elements in writing, my next book, my career approach and much, much more.
Joshua Pantalleresco invited me to return to his podcast Just Joshing at this year's Creative Ink Festival. Check out episode 247 as we talk about the role of teachers, whether or not people get what they want, my current work in progress, and Josh being published in OnSpec--all while running the merchants' table in the final hour of the festival. Hear us chat before we get overrun!
