I apologize for not posting here a lot lately — I’ve been very busy teaching this past year, and I’ll be busy teaching all over again in the month to come, for a number of genre fiction-focused writing workshops. I’ll be running my “Atmosphere in Horror and Fantasy” course in the MFA program in Writing Popular Fiction at Seton Hill University next week, followed by a fun guest lecture on “Making the Reader Squirm” at the acclaimed Odyssey Fantasy Writing Workshop the week after that, then running some workshops on writing uncanny scenes at Alpha: The SF/F/H Writing Workshop for Young Authors in July just to top it all off. Busy days ahead!

Reading to Alpha Teens in 2008

All of these are only open for registered students only, but Alpha is hosting a free public reading/signing with myself, Holly Black and Tamora Pierce at the Barnes & Noble bookstore in Greensburg, PA on Tuesday, July 20th at 7:30 pm.

To keep up with my readings and book signings, visit my author page at BookTour.Com (updates appear on the gorelets.com front page, as well).
