EMPATHY On Tour – Thank You, Green Bay!

Last weekend’s stop for the EMPATHY spring tour was another fantastic one. I had a wonderful time visiting the Reader’s Loft bookstore in Green Bay and am thankful for their support. Thanks, too, to everyone who came out to say hello.

The EMPATHY spring tour will conclude on Thursday, June 20th at Books and Beer in Columbus, Wisconsin; don’t miss this last chance to catch me this spring!

Until then, here are some of my favorite photos from last weekend’s event!

It was a beautiful day for a bookstore event!

There were two cats who lived in the store! Here’s Lacey petting Greta.

And this is Sophie! She was a little more shy.

The afternoon’s setup!

Shiny-looking signed author copies were available right near the entrance to the store!

Still need to get your hands on a copy of any of the books in the EMPATHY series? Remember, paperbacks are currently 15% off (with free shipping!) on my author site, and you can get 40% off ebooks at ninestarpress.com with keyword PRIDE.

EMPATHY on Tour – Thank You, La Crosse!

The EMPATHY spring and summer tour kept on chugging this last weekend with an event at Pearl Street Books in La Crosse! It was wonderful to return to beautiful northwestern Wisconsin so soon after my recent event in Eau Claire. Thank you, Pearl Street Books, for hosting, and thanks to everyone who made it to the reading or swung by afterward.

The EMPATHY tour will continue this upcoming weekend at the Reader’s Loft in Green Bay before it concludes on Thursday, June 20th at Books and Beer in Columbus, Wisconsin.

Until then, here are some of my favorite photos from last weekend’s event!

I thought I’d take a panoramic shot of the store before attendees arrived. Pearl Street Books is an old shoe store converted into a bookstore!

An attendee listens in during the morning’s first reading.

People *always* ask who did the covers for the series (Natasha Snow)!

In case you’re ever in the area and have trouble finding the place, here it is!

Huzzah! A WisCon 43 Recap

I had a wonderful time at this last weekend’s WisCon 43, which was held in Madison, Wisconsin at the Concourse Hotel. Not only did I attend as a vendor peddling my EMPATHY-verse wares, but I was also included on a panel about writing a series and had the chance to lead a couple of workshops on the craft of writing.

There were dozens of engaging sessions throughout the weekend that covered everything from capitalist anxiety, labor exploitation in space, queer storytelling versus stories that feature queer characters—you name it, there was a panel or discussion about it.

Here are some photos from the weekend!

From the “Plotting Past Book One: Writing a Series” Panel with Laurie J. Marks, Sarah Kozloff, David D. Levine, and your truly.

And there you have it–another event on the EMPATHY spring and summer tour has come and gone. There are still a number of chances to meet up in the coming months, so be sure to check those out.

If you’re unable to attend any event—or simply can’t wait for them to arrive to get your hands on a copy of a book in the EMPATHY series—you can find books one and two below!
