Tailwinds Press has partnered with Hub City Press to put together a reading at the Punchbucket Literary Festival in Ashville, North Carolina. Josh Wardrip, Chris Haven, Stephen Hundley and myself will all be reading together in the Ballroom at the Renaissance Hotel.

Speculative Fiction Readings Hosted by Daniel Marcus and Laura Blackwell
During these stir-crazy, cabin-fever, shut-in days and evenings, when we're trying to find new ways to entertain ourselves and each other, Story Hour goes back to basics, the oldest form of entertainment in history: people sitting around telling each other beautiful lies, spinning the fictive dream.
Every week, we bring you an hour of science fiction, fantasy, slipstream, and weird stories, narrated by the authors. At least two complete stories, every Wednesday.
So come by, kick back, turn down the lights, and join us.
Every Wednesday, 7:00 p.m. PST/PDT

If anyone attending AWP is interested in literature, I got yer literature right here for ya.
