Date and time of my appearance at Humboldt State U. in Arcata, California is confirmed; November 6, 2008, at 7 p.m. in the HSU Library lobby. The occasion is HSU's Book of the Year celebrations. This year they've chosen Octavia Butler's Parable of the Sower. I'll be talking about the book, about Octavia, about science fiction and fantasy in general. They want me to read from my own work, too. For more information, here's the HSU library blog.
