Gold Rush Writers Conference

I’ll be presenting at the 11th annual Gold Rush Writers Conference, founded by novelist Antoinette May, taking place May 5, 6 & 7, at the Hotel Leger, Mokelumne Hill, CA. The very reasonable price of $165 rises to $175 after March 30. This includes a picnic supper, dinner and brunch, plus–and most importantly–four out of 16 fabulous workshops. I’ll be teaching a workshop on historical fiction. Spend a weekend surrounded by fellow writers in a Gold Rush hotel (haunted? some say yes) with great food. www.goldrushwriters.com

AAUW witchcraft talk

I’ll be doing a slideshow presentation on witchcraft and discussing its history, at the new member luncheon for the Gilroy branch of the American Association of University Women. All are welcome. Event starts at 12:30 and runs until 2:00. There is a fee for the lunch; please visit http://www.gilroyaauw.org/html/fall_memebership_lunch_2011.html for details.

Radio interview with Ken Hudnall

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.

Guest Blogging at the Graveyard Shift

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.
