Quick Note...

2023 was... tricky. I had a few serious technological setbacks, derailing productivity - including periods of being completely disconnected from the internet and even cell service.

Add to that a busy schedule, family emergencies, and more....

If you're waiting to hear from me please be patient (within reason). We are a few months into 2024 and I'm still getting caught up.

Thank you! Stay safe and well!

What's Going On....

I've been an instructor at a number of workshops, including the Cascade Writers Workshop, the Odyssey Writing Workshop, and in 2023 I was the week 5 instructor for Clarion West. I'm teaching at Cat Rambo's Wayward Wormhole this year!

I've been a guest speaker at classes for college/university students all the way up to PhD candidates, as well as various kinds of speculative writing courses.

I am a Guest of Honour at Can*Con this year, and have done panels and workshops at a range of conventions, including FIYAHCON, the SFWA Nebula Conference, World Fantasy, and Worldcon.

I was a 2023 Canopus Award judge and a 2023 Salam Award judge.

Interviews, calendar, and my contact info is below. Reach out! : )
