At the moment, we're just three days from the first All But True reading at Mighty Writers, with Stephanie Feldman and Tom Mendicino. Scroll down or click here to read the full description of that event on October 14.
Meanwhile, it's not too early to look ahead to reading #2, which will focus on speculative fiction. The date and time: Friday, November 11, 7:00 p.m., again at Mighty Writers West, 3861 Lancaster Ave., Philadelphia 19104.
We're calling the event "Other Times, Other Worlds," and it features two award-winning science fiction writers, Lawrence M. Schoen and Fran Wilde, who will read from their recent novels, discuss them with the audience, and then stay around to sign their books.
Lawrence M. Schoen’s novel Barsk (Tor, 2015) is set in a far future when humans are long extinct, on a planet that’s home to the Fant, an intelligent species whose ancestors are elephants. Barsk won the Cóyotl award for best novel of 2015, and Schoen’s work has also been nominated for the Campbell, Hugo, and Nebula awards. He is a a cognitive psychologist, hypnotherapist, and world authority on the Klingon language.
Fran Wilde’s Cloudbound (Tor, 2016) is the second book in her Bone Universe trilogy, set on a world where people reside high above the clouds in towers made of living bone. To move from one tower to another, they fly on sail-like wings. Her first novel in the series, Updraft, was nominated for the 2016 Nebula Award, and it won the 2016 Andre Norton Award and the 2016 Compton Crook Award.
We hope you’ll join us for this free event, which should be both high-flying and hypnotic!
