Seattle PB readings – Aug. 11 & 12

I’m doing two readings from PREGNANT BUTCH in Seattle – August 11th & 12th, at Third Place Books in Lake Forest Park and at Elliott Bay Books in Capitol Hill. I’m told they’re on opposite sides of town, so we shouldn’t have to worry about rival neighborhood gangs of natural childbirth enthusiasts and their bowtie-wielding dandy enforcers mixing it up. Peace, y’all!

PB & Nicole J. Georges

PB not pictured.

I will be reading in Portland, Oregon this August 8 with Nicole J. Georges, author-artist of Calling Dr. Laura. Though Nicole self-describes as “barren,” she just took home the Best Graphic Novel prize from Lambda Lit.

One queer’s barren is another queer’s fertile abundance!

Review by Roger Hart

http://www.consequential.net/2014/podcast-episode-18-tcaf/

Dave Convery, Roger Hart and Lucy Boyes of Consequential, “an almost-monthly newsletter full of interesting comics stuff,” shoot the breeze about Pregnant Butch AND about their microphone as a possible robot dildo.

Windy City Times covers U of Chicago Talk

University of Chicago CSGS Artist Salon hosts Kristen Schilt, Hillary Chute, Chase Joynt with A.K. Summers at May 1, 2014 Artist’s Talk, “Drawing Butchness with Comics.”

Windy City Times‘s Vern Hester came to my May 1 Artist’s Talk at the University of Chicago…but Vern left out his own brilliant after-the-talk suggestion that I send a copy of Pregnant Butch to Paul “Yer Havin’ My Babeh” Anka.
