Free Library Reading Next Tuesday!

.

After a long hiatus from such public appearances, I'll be doing a reading at the Free Library of Philadelphia next Tuesday. If you're in the city then and have the free time, why not attend? It'll be fun.

I'll be reading from my soon-to-be-published novel The Iron Dragon's Mother. I don't know what Leanna Renee Hieber  will be reading, but I'm looking forward to finding out.

Here's the info from the Free Library website:

His latest novel, The Iron Dragon’s Mother, will be published by Tor Books in June, 2019. He lives in Philadelphia with his wife, Marianne Porter.


And from the Image Book yet again . . .

A collage. Just another face in the crowd, I'm afraid.

Above: For those who came in late, my latest novel, The Iron Dragon's Mother, will be published in 20 days. To draw attention to this fact, I'm serializing the Image Book I made to help me imagine a strange world for the book.
