Hey, if you're in the SLC area, my film is premiering tomorrow night at a screening at the Marmalade library. I would love to see ALL of you there. It would be nice for some friendly faces to be in the audience. mentalhealthyfit.org/focuson…
Utah officially banned 13 books from its public schools last week — including works by some of the most widely read authors of our time: Sarah J. Maas, Judy Blume, Margaret Atwood, and Rupi Kaur. Stop the insanity! How you can help: letutahread.org/stopbookbans
Since I have COVID, I couldn't be at the @LUWriters Quills Awards Banquet tonight, but that doesn't mean I didn't win some awards for my writing, bestowed by peers here in Utah.
New short story out in the @LUWriters ' 2024 anthology, "Write Where You Belong." If you'd like to read about Claudine, my burlesque dancing robot in the Paris metro, you can snag a copy of the anthology (only $4.99 for the ebook!) at the link in the following post.
Cheers!
I'll be teaching at the @LUWriters Quills Conference in August. I'd love to see folks there. It's genuinely my favorite writing conference in the country and not just because it's in my backyard.
@MauriceBroaddus and @ShvetaThakrar are guests of honor!
