Fall always seems to be a busy time of year with various family-related travel and book-related events. Here are a few places I’ll be in the coming months, with more details and updates to follow.
Agustina Bazterrica in Conversation
On Tuesday, September 9 at 6pm at the Barnes and Noble in Center City Philadelphia, I’ll be in conversation with Agustina Bazterrica about her latest novel, The Unworthy. Tickets and more information available here.
Vampire Hunters Book Release
On Saturday, September 13, Speculation Publications will host a book launch for their new anthology, Vampire Hunters: An Incomplete Record of Personal Accounts. It’s a fun anthology, and it should be a wonderful event, held at the Vampa Museum in Doylestown, PA. The museum will be open for folks to tour the collection and grounds, books will be sold from 12-4 with a chance to meet and chat with the editors, and from 5-8pm, there will be readings and refreshments in the Vampire Sanctuary. More info available here. I’ve been meaning to check out the museum, so this will be a perfect excuse. I’ll be reading along with several other fabulous authors, and I’ll do my best to find something vampire-inspired to wear.
Capclave
September 19-21, I’ll be attending Capclave in Rockville, MD. A preliminary schedule is below, and I’ll update the post with more details as they become available. Capclave is generally a laidback con, and a good way to end the convention season. It’s on the smaller side, but the folks there are passionate about books, reading, and speculative fiction, and it’s nice to go to a con and feel like there’s time to see and hang out with people without being overwhelmed by the sheer number of attendees.
Author Reading – Saturday, September 20 at 1pm – Adams
What You Should Be Reading and Watching – Saturday, September 20 at 2pm – Jackson
Hopeful Fiction for Dark Times – Saturday, September 20 at 4pm – Washington Theater
A Philosophy of Thieves
Fran Wilde’s fantastic new novel, A Philosophy of Thieves, comes out at the end of September. On October 7, from 6:30-7:30 pm, I’ll be in conversation with Fran at Main Point Books, talking about heists as art, environmental collapse and recovery, high tech fashion, hacking and skullduggery, and much more. It’ll be a delightful time!
Story Hour
On Wednesday, October 22 at 7pm PST/10pm EST, I’ll be returning to the wonderful Story Hour reading series. I haven’t decided what I’ll read yet, but since October is the spookiest month, I’ll be aiming for horror. More details to come.
Night and Day
On Tuesday, November 18 at 7pm, I’ll be at The Twisted Spine in Brooklyn, celebrating the very cool Saga Double anthology, Night and Day, edited by Ellen Datlow. I’ll share more details as they’re available, but I believe A.T. Greenblatt, Clay McLeod Chapman, and Ellen Datlow will be in attendance as well. I imagine we’ll read from our stories in the anthology and signs some books. I’m personally very excited to explore the bookstore itself, which officially has its grand opening on September 6 & 7th. A bookstore and cafe dedicated to horror and dark literature? Yes, please and thank you!
Finally, while it’s not an event, the paperback edition of Out of the Drowning Deep was released on September 2, 2025.
