I’m doing a public reading at LitHop Fresno on October 18
I’m doing a public reading at LitHop Fresno on Saturday, October 18! I’ll be reading an excerpt of my award-winning short story, “Walk Me Home,” at Mi Cafesito on Van Ness. Participants read in teams of four, and my team is scheduled from 2:00-2:45. If you’ll be in the area, come on out, have some great coffee, and find out what happens when Robert walks Rachel home on a foggy night in Sacramento. LitHop is an annual pop-up literary arts festival in Fresno, California. All events are free and open to the public, so if you stop by, be sure to check out all the other authors doing public readings…

Tucson Festival of Books and Left Coast Crime
Just when you thought it was safe to go back on the internet… I’m baaaaacccckkkkk! I don’t think I’ve taken a 2-week hiatus since I started this blog, but the last few weeks have been cuh-razy. I’ll save the full recap for my end-of-the-month post next week, but this week we’ll talk about: Here we go: Tucson Festival of Books Tucson Festival of Books, affectionately known as TFOB to the regulars, is the third-largest book festival in the USA. (Or so I’m told–I don’t have a citation to support this statement. Why yes, I am an academic. Why do you ask?) It’s held on the University of Arizona campus every…
