Queer Fantasy and Weird Tales for the People
On April 28 (a week from Sunday), I’ll be at the Kenosha Book Festival at Studio Moonfall: 5031 7th Avenue, Kenosha, WI. It will be open from 10 in the morning until 3 in the afternoon, and feature a slate of very cool indie authors (if I do say so myself), food trucks, and special deals. Here’s a link to the Facebook event and here are Studio Moonfall’s other events.
I was a last-minute addition, and I’m very excited to be attending! Hope to see you there!
Lucette, “Bobby Reid”
Good morning!
First, an annoucement: I am a last-minute addition to Chapter One of the Kenosha Book Festival, hosted by Studio Moonfall! It will take place on Sunday, April 28 from 10-3 at 5031 7th Avenue, Kenosha, WI. Here’s a link to the Facebook event.
As usual, I’ll have a new chapter of Journey to the Water up on Patreon tomorrow, and last week’s chapter will be here Wednesday.
Petitions for this week:
Via MoveOn.org: No U.S. tax dollars for weapons to harm civilians in Gaza
Via Win Without War: Suspend military aid to Israel until humanitarian aid access is improved across Gaza
The sun is shining for the first time in weeks. I hope you are well. Thanks for stopping by!
Witch-o-Rama is happening tomorrow, March 10! Unfortunately, I will not be there. I’ve finally caught the ‘Rona. HOWEVER, the fantastic lineup in the second image will be there, including my business partner Brooke of the Figuratively Speaking Tarot. I’m giving her a box of signed books in case anyone is interested while I’m gone.
If you’re in the Chicago area tomorrow, you should go, so I can live vicariously through you!
P.S. I’m fine, I’ve had all my shots, I’m just miserable and contagious. I should be better in a few days.
David Gray, “Babylon”
Happy Monday!
On Sunday, March 10, I’ll be at Witch-o-Rama in Blue Island, IL! Doors will be open from noon until 5PM at the Blue Island Beer Company on Olde Western Ave. Here’s the Facebook event, which will have all the information you need, or the event’s website, if you prefer. After being rerouted to Washington, DC, my box of new books arrived yesterday, so I will be prepared with plenty of stock. I hope to see you there!
I’ll have a new chapter of Journey to the Water for you on Patreon tomorrow, and last week’s chapter will be up here on Wednesday. It’s officially March, so I’m sprinting toward the end of the draft. Wish me luck!
Two petitions today, because the pressure might be starting to work?
Via Win Without War: Call on Pres. Biden to pressure the Israeli government to increase aid now

Take care of yourself this week, and thank you for being here.

Some more petitions, because even if our leaders don’t listen to us we need to stand up and be counted anyway:

Via Demand Progress: Permanent ceasefire and end to unconditional aid to Israel
I appreciate you. Thanks for being here, and have an excellent week.

Within Temptation featuring Chris Jones, “Utopia”
Good morning! I hope you’re staying warm. It’s -4 Fahrenheit where I am right now, and I managed to get road salt in my phone’s charging port the other day. I’m not sure if it’s worth braving the windchill to go get it looked at.
