Literate Housewife will post our interview on Halloween, Oct. 31. She made October “Witch’s Trinity Spotlight Month” at her book review blog.

I’ll be guest blogging at Literate Housewife‘s site on Oct. 23. She’s a great book reviewer, and she made October “Witch’s Trinity Spotlight Month.” Thanks, Literate Housewife!

I’ll be interviewed on Ken Hudnall‘s radio show out of El Paso. He focuses on the paranormal. You can listen to it live-streaming here at 5-6 p.m. PST on Wed., Nov. 8.

I’ll be guest blogging at Lee Lofland’s blog The Graveyard Shift. Lee’s an amazing writer, nominated for a Macavity award. Since his blog focuses on cops and robbers, my guest blog will address medieval inquisitors as the “cops” of their day–what methods they use, how they extract confessions, etc.

  

  I'll be reading in the "Around the World in 60 Minutes" hour, taking place from 12pm to 1pm

on Saturday, October 4th (I think I must be representing Germany!)

   

Readers that hour will include:

   

  Nguyen Do

  Malena Watrous

  Siddharth Shanghvi

  Niloufar Talebi 

  Zoë Ferraris

  Saikat Majumdar

  Erika Mailman

   

Takes place at the Koret Auditorium, San Francisco Main Public Library,

100 Larkin Street (BART station is Civic Center). This is always a really fun way to

hear snippets--great for our short attention spans. I've been directed to read for

exactly six minutes. This is my third year with Litquake (fourth?) and it's always funny

to watch people go over their time and have someone in the front row waving furiously

at them to stop. They need an orchestra like the Oscars!

 

The readings continue in hour-long segments all day.

 

After the reading, Books Inc. Opera Plaza store (3 blocks from the Main Library) will

host an author book signing and reception for Koret readers immediately following the

final hour, starting at 5:30pm.
