Letter to . . . second time around
That “Letter to a Just Starting-Out Indian Writer” piece I read first at . . . NALS, I think? in 2015 or so? Anyway, read it again at IAIA a year or so later, they Vimeo’d it, but then, these past few months, it had gotten behind a password wall. No longer: it’s free and
Caribbean Cabal Charitable Writers Retreat
Coming in 2020 (which, surely everyone will be writing as “20/20,” yes?).
This Week in Booklandia
Started the week out talking to Billy Stratton’s Native American Lit course (st DU) about Mongrels for . . . I guess it was nearly two hours. Two very cool hours, that I wish had been four: ( was possibly showing off the Turkish edition, yeah. both shots via Billy Stratton ) That class had
Tattered Cover
Hey, Tattered Cover (Colfax) has a green room now! So cool. Anyway, was a good time, answering questions about Mechanical Animals with Selena Chambers, Jason Heller (editors of this), Molly Tanzer, and Carrie Vaughn. Really, Molly and Carrie and me, we’re on stage so much together we’ve pretty much got a routine, by now. And
WLA
I’m there in 2020, LA. Distinguished Achievement Award. So cool, such an honor: Also, a cool year-plus before that, I’m keynoting at LSU’s Mardi Gras Conference in February, here. Then over summer I’m . . . let’s see: teaching the second week of Clarion West, GoH’ing at ReaderCon. Oh: and I’m planning to be at
Q&A’ing
Just, cleaning up my laptop and found this/below stashed in a tmp directory. It’s echo-ey, sounds like I’m on a stage, maybe? File’s called “GT,” if that means anything. Anyway, what it looks to be: somebody asking me questions about being Blackfeet, writing horror. Or . . . it’s the Q&A from the audience, after

Theo Van Alst in Boulder
Was a great event last night for Theo and Sacred Smokes—for us, really. Packed house, good words, and a lot of laughing.Â
The Ghosts of October
October was packed full of good times. I don’t think this is all of them, but it’s all of them I can dig up goods for—or, that I can remember to dig up pics and links for. Started out giving a zombie lecture to an auditorium of people at CU: Then I was at the

Proud honored thrilled to be special guesting it then and there: https://www.wfc2020.org/guests
Fabulous Skeletal Starchild
Or, what I was for Halloween, 2018 (all thanks to my wife): And, let’s see if I can get this video to work: Anyway, was cool to be one of my rock ‘n roll heroes for a day. First album I ever got? A record. KISS Destroyer.
Midland, Texas
Was there this weekend, giving a couple of talks for Permian Basin Writers’ Workshop. Always neat to walk through places I grew up. And, I realized: when I left Texas, I never considered that one thing I’d been taking for granted all along was Whataburger trash in the bear grass:

October, man, it’s a busy time for horror writers. Wouldn’t have it any other way: And, if lists and links are easier: http://www.milehicon.org https://permianbasinwritersworkshop.org https://www.atlasobscura.com/events/defy-your-demons https://blog.frontrange.edu/2018/10/01/get-your-halloween-on-paranormal-fiction-authors-to-discuss-their-craft-at-frcc/ Oh, and I’m a doing a zombie talk as well, and I’m at Southern Alabama on the 29th, reading and visiting: Hope to see you at one of these.

Noir at the Bar
Was a good time last night. My first time at the Mercury Cafe, too (Boulder people don’t get to Denver too often—it’s weird, I know, but neither do Denver people trek out here to Boulder much either). Meaning, I didn’t know what door to use, meaning: of course I ended up circulating at a wedding
Yog SEA at BookBar
Which you’d think would start here, at 7pm, as the sign says: But, really, I was at Tattered Cover Colfax at 2pm, for a Denver Moon event, which went great, as you can tell: On the way out, I caught My Hero in good company: I so, so dig My Favorite Thing is Monsters. Very
Recent stuff
I used to be better about doing this—collecting snapshots from the last couple weeks or so, stacking them in a post—but I somehow let that drift away. So, maybe this’ll be me starting that up again? Who knows. Anyway, DCC would be in here, but I had to ghost out of all my panels last-minute,
Nine Tonight
Well, 9:00pm some night in February: so, so excited this is back on, and that the tickets I got for the original/cancelled show still work for this one. One of my main dreams has always been to see Seger live. Here’s hoping this Denver concert really happens: Here he is right before he would have
Little House Crossed the Prairie
And made it to me here in Boulder. Amazing-cool, thank you everyone who read it, who voted on it, who dug it. Now if I can just keep from dropping it. I almost just nailed it with a dog-toy, during a furious game of fetch, so it may have to be finding a higher, more
Good Thunder
Was up in Minnesota a few weeks ago, got to talk to some very cool people on the radio:
NALS 2018
Hey, cool—and thanks to David Tremblay for the headsup. Guess I’m  on some page NALS stuff. I’m thinking that snapshot is maybe from a keynote I gave at Isleta Casino couple years back? And here’s that keynote, from when I read it later at IAIA: Stephen Graham Jones from IAIA – Low Rez MFA (video won’t
