MEET YOUR LITERARY COMMUNITY was held at the Phoenix Public Market on Saturday, October 6, 2018 from 8:00 a.m to 12:00 p.m. Phoenix writers gathered, and I got to read the prologue of my forthcoming novel, AND SO WE DIE, HAVING FIRST SLEPT. This was actually my first time reading a portion aloud for an audience . . .
But here are my photos, which include many local writers!
NOT NECESSARILY IN ORDER BECAUSE I COULDN'T FIGURE OUT HOW TO DO THAT ON MY BLOG.
