Tomorrow, I am a featured writer at this month’s Gumbo Fiction Salon in Chicago! This one is a celebration of Frankenstein’s Bicentennial, the novel often credited as the beginning of the literary genre of science fiction.

I’d restate the great pun from Callahan’s at WorldCon 76 about having a beer and a hot dog in honor of the anniversary, but I can’t quite resurrect it. Happy to participate in this landmark occasion by joining in the lively tradition of this salon; it reminds me of discovering my first appearance in a literary industry magazine in Locus issue #666. Auspicious.

As I’ve mentioned before, I’ll be at Ace Comic Con Midwest! I’m thrilled to be listed alongside such great talent, and I hope people will enjoy visiting my Artist’s Alley table – and then enjoy the books they get from there even more.

The happenstance abbreviation of my book title to “Ire Within” really does something for this highlight image!
