Hey, there! I'm having a great summer as writer-in-residence at
Hollins University's Graduation Program in Children's Literature; the
leafy campus outside Roanoke, Virginia is a far cry from the gritty
streets of Manhattan, and my colleagues are warm & creative. But I'm
looking forward to nipping up to the Boston area next month to attend
Readercon and be part of an event at beloved Porter Square Books on
July 14th.
I'll be reading from my new story "The Duke of Riverside," which fills
in some of the story around my novel SWORDSPOINT. I'm proud to be in
NAKED CITY, a stunning anthology, and I'm really honored to be
presenting with this group of admired and distinguished colleagues:
