It’s hard to believe that we’re already halfway through August! It’s been a great summer Kestryl and I had an amazing time up in Ptown relaxing with our dogs. I’ve been picking away at some new writing, and just last weekend via SKYPE I joined a queer femme book group in Montreal to talk about Roving Pack! Next month I’ll be joining the youth at SMYRC in Portland Oregon (the queer youth center where I grew up) to disuss Roving Pack! Has your book group read the novel? I’d love to be part of your next meeting to talk about the book!
I’m writing a weekly column over at Dogster if you’re looking to follow my canine focused writing, and have a story in the Fall issue of The Bark magazine.
This fall is going to be really exciting, Crown Heights my neighborhood in Brooklyn is getting our very own bookstore!! I’m organizing the first queer reading ever to happen at the bookstore. It will be on September 28th at 7pm so if you’re in the NYC area you should definitely join us – it’s an amazing lineup of readers:
Cristy C. Road
Chavisa Woods
Mario Alberto Zambrano
Me!
Really excited that my neighborhood is going to have its own bookstore for the first time, an that the shop is going to be queer friendly! Check out the FB event page and RSVP please! 
Then, the next weekend I’m going to be flying down to Atlanta to be part of the Atlanta Pride festivities!!! I’m super excited because Atlanta is definitely a beloved city of mine – and Charis Feminist Bookstore where I’ll be reading is one of my all time favorite shops anywhere in the country! I’ll be part of an awesome reading happening called “The Tears on Her Face Are From Laughter” on Saturday October 5th which will be featuring readings from: my buddy (and Leather Ever After contributor) Alysia Angel and Julie Marie for an evening of storytelling, poetry, and tales of queer triumph! I’m really excited to be back in Atlanta, this time with Roving Pack! Please tell anyone you know in the area to stop by the bookstore
Autumn is one of my favorite seasons, I love feeling the weather begin to cool, and the start of holiday seasons. I can’t wait to go apple picking and for our annual trip to the pumpkin patch
