WV Book Festival (Charleston) & Writers Can Read (Huntington)

Just ten days away from the West Virginia Book Festival in Charleston, WV, where I will be selling my books and merch. I always love visiting our capital and connecting with readers there. Don’t miss it—October 19th, from 8:oo a.m. to 5:00 p.m., find authors like me selling books in the Charleston Coliseum & Convention Center. Attend writing workshops, presentations, and more, including talks and signings from this year’s featured authors, Gregg Hurwitz, Joy Callaway, Gene Luen Yang, Mia Manasala, and Sadeqa Johnson. Find out more details on all the programs and a schedule at www.wvbookfestival.org. It’s all free! We can’t wait to see you there.

A few days later, on Monday, October 21st, I’ll be joining my friend and colleague Carter Taylor Seaton as the two Featured Writers at the Writers Can Read Open Mic Night Series in Huntington, WV. Be at Heritage Station by 7:00 p.m., and come with something of your own to read, if you want!

I always love visiting Huntington and can’t wait to see everyone there. I’m so glad that Michael Connick has taken over the reins of this monthly event, which was formerly organized by Carter.

New #OctoberReads Short Story: “We Suckle” in THE SATURDAY EVENING POST

October is my favorite month for so many reasons, but here’s a new one: my short story, “We Suckle,” has been published online at The Saturday Evening Post. Click here to read about a young family that moves to Augustus Valley to ease their financial burden and finds something strange happening in their basement. Rather, they think there’s something weird going on, but they can’t ever quite remember what

Happy Halloween 2019

Happy Halloween everybody! Here’s a look at this year’s jack-o-lantern at the Huguenin house. Emily took the first photo (the better one), mine is the blurry dark one.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Don’t forget I’m going to be in Huntington, WV tomorrow from 6pm to 10pm with a table at the Haunted Majestic, a super-rad haunted house floating on the Ohio River. Admission is $17 for a really awesome event.

Tonight, I won’t be there, but if you want to go on actual Halloween night, graphic novel artist/writer Jason Pell will be there. He has some really cool stuff. Check out his work at Bug House Comics!

That’s all. Enjoy the holiday. See you tomorrow night (or Saturday).
