I just rode down on the train from Seattle. Thank you so much for arranging the lovely weather to remind me of how much I miss living here.
I have two appearances in town and will be reading different material at each. The first is tonight at the SFWA Pacific Northwest Reading Series at the Kennedy School. I’ll be joined by Nebula award nominee Tina Connolly, and Nisi Shawl at 7:00 tonight.
Will I see you there? Frosty adult beverages…
SFWA Pacific Northwest Reading Series
When: April 24, 2013 @ 7:00 pm – 8:30 pm
Where: McMenamins Kennedy School
5736 Northeast 33rd Avenue
Portland,OR 97211
The greater Pacific Northwest is home to Ursula K. Le Guin, Kay Kenyon, Jay Lake, Nancy Kress, Brent Weeks, Ted Chiang and Ramona Quimby. Although Ramona isn’t known for her Science Fiction and Fantasy escapades, the rest are, and will be celebrated as part of the Pacific Northwest Reading Series. These free quarterly events provide the Northwest Science Fiction and Fantasy community a chance to gather, network and enjoy readings from local authors.
Each event starts with notes from the host, a leading local author, who has selected two of their favorite writers to complete the evening’s theme. In turn, each is given time to read from their latest work, interpreting and explaining their concepts and vision. In addition, space is provided for networking and conversation.
Set in the pub-like atmosphere of the McMenamins Kennedy School in Portland, OR, events begin at 7:00 pm, and end by 8:30 pm.
