Thursday, October 30th, between 8:30 and 9 PM (PDT), I will be presenting, at the regular weekly meeting of the Los Angeles Science Fantasy Society, a dramatic reading of an American work in the spirit of the season. If you'd like to Zoom into the meeting to learn *what* work I'll be dramatizing and attend the performance, you're very welcome to join us. (It will be a bit late for you on the East Coast, but it's not a long selection.)
If you think you can join us, please DM me here or on my personal page. The link is password protected, and it will be simpler if I can alert Susan Fox, the gate-keeper, so she'll know you're cool, and I'll send you the password. The link opens about 7:45, if you're interested in what the club is all about.

Hope to see you there, CL

Speaking of The Bat (well, *I* was), if you pick up this book on Amazon, I'd be much obliged if you could take a minute to post a review, even a brief one. I'd really like to know how the format works for the audience, and Jean Marie would *love* the exposure.

And now, the volume that answers questions you've been asking since "The Emperor's Secret Files" began!

Now, learn about the careers of the father of Shooting Star, and the late husband of Chris Webbe, in this latest release!

Today is the birthday of one of my very best friends, colleagues, and collaborators (three in one!), now known as Lyssa Sue Shaffer but better known to readers of the Secret Files as The Emperor's ace companion in adventure Shanghai Lil.
