Borderlands Sponsor Special Event Tomorrow!

Gentle Reader, tomorrow (Tuesday Feb. 23) I am doing a special event in San Francisco, CA at 6:00 PM at Borderlands Books.

This sponsor ONLY panel features yours truly with Richard Kadrey and Pat Murphy: Been There, Done That, Wish I Hadn’t. We’ll share our worst career mistakes, as well as advice we wish someone had given us from the start.

Borderlands Sponsor Program is a community grassroots experiment to save a wonderful San Francisco SF/F bookstore. (Here are details about what benefits sponsors receive. Here is information about how the sponsor program came about.)

My very first bookstore reading at Borderlands in 2009. (Crazy Hair!)
