HAPPY PRIDE ♥️🏳️‍🌈 Please join us for our annual STORIES OF PRIDE show, a one-night-only LGBTQ+ celebration of storytelling and community! Hosted by Torrey House Press, the 90 minute show exists to celebrate q***r joy, triumph, love, liberation, defiance, connection—and to reject the narrative that the LGBTQ+ experience is defined only through trauma. With this in mind, each storyteller has prepared a 5-7 minute story or reading on whatever topic they’d like.

The lineup this year includes Eli McCann, W***y Palomo, Lewis Figun Westbrook, Cass Biehn, Patrick Ramsay, and Franque Michele Bains.

Tickets are $15 through Eventbrite, and code PRIDE gets you $5 off: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/stories-of-pride-a-lgbtq-celebration-of-community-tickets-1990199282629?aff=oddtdtcreator

The show takes place at Church & State in Salt Lake City (370 S 300 E) and the program is family friendly-ish (we can’t promise your children won’t hear bible swears or euphemisms).

Looking forward to seeing you there! ♥️♥️♥️

ABOUT THE BOOK
When archaeologist Chuck Bender witnesses a shocking death while conducting a survey at Great Sand Dunes National Park in Colorado, local cops quickly declare the bizarre incident an accident. But when Chuck discovers a series of mysterious artifacts that threaten the lives of film students in the park—including his daughter Rosie—he will stop at nothing to uncover the truth.

Is a killer quietly stalking Great Sand Dunes? Are the students the next target? And why does no one seem to care about the young man whose brutal killing started it all? Together, Chuck and Rosie must unravel a devious web of deception and deceit—before one death turns into a massacre.

Monday evening, please join us for a very special virtual celebration featuring prose, poetry, art, and advocacy for Great Salt Lake, celebrating the launch of the anthology The Once and Future Lake. Contributors will be joined in conversation with editor Michael McLane.

REGISTER: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/the-once-and-future-lake-virtual-launch-and-celebration-tickets-1986597066303?aff=oddtdtcreator

For thousands of years, Great Salt Lake has played a surprisingly central role in the lives of humans and animals throughout the American West and across entire continents. Once a destination for wellness seekers, the lake’s alarming disappearance is already affecting skiing, tourism, and the region’s economic future. As humans continue to divert its waters for agriculture and mine its marshlands for industry, Great Salt Lake could vanish entirely within five years. A refuge for more than 330 species of migrating birds, the lake also keeps vast swathes of the western United States habitable by keeping naturally occurring arsenic, toxic dust, and other health hazards trapped safely in the earth.

The Once and Future Lake brings together nature writers, scientists, and storytellers to reveal the beauty of this complex ecosystem and to proclaim a future where Great Salt Lake will once again thrive—as long as we act before it’s too late. Through essay, story, and poetry, these writers show how intertwined the lake’s fate is with our own and that restoring and rewilding Great Salt Lake is possible, practical, ambitious, and essential.
