Tour Digest
All these weeks later, can I still find some snapshots to document I Was a Teenage Slasher winging it from NYC to San Diego? Let’s see, let’s see: NYC Launch-day was shooting video for The Buffalo Hunter Hunter at Simon & Schuster, but ALSO seeing Tolly and Ambs in the main display case at ground-level
Teenage Slasher tour stops!
Hope to see some/all of you on the slasher road in a couple weeks. It starts in NYC, at The Strand, and then wends and winds across America. Not listed here is San Diego Comic Con—I’m a last-minute add, but will likely be doing a signing or something at the Simon & Schuster/Saga booth? Will
When in Spain, 2023 version
Was there in November—Madrid first, then Barcelona, right up until Turkey Day here in the States—but started that vampire novel right after, so: am only just now posting the media from that week and a half there. Not sure where all the photos &etc ended up, but, here’s what I find, scraping Twitter: http://capsulaslj.blogspot.com/2023/11/mi-corazon-es-una-motosierra.html https://elpais.com/cultura/2023-11-17/stephen-graham-jones-la-novela-de-terror-ajusta-cuentas-con-la-masacre-de-los-indios-americanos.html

San Antonio Book Festival
(I somehow never posted a recap of this. had it ready, just never made it live . . .) Started out telling stories on stage: Believe the events shows up as a podcast in a couple weeks. And, next day, POV from the stage: Then the room filled up some more: Aftershots: Then it was

Guess I’m a little late to get this on the site—happened a month ago, at least?—better now than never:
LA Times Book Festival 2023
Couldn’t have been a better time: Snapped a shot of the crowd from my angle, too (this is after the Q&A, after a few folks had stepped out): And here we are after it was over: And then it was one hour-long signing line followed immediately by another hour-long signing at the Mysterious Galaxy booth.
AWP 2023
Such a good time. Hadn’t been in . . . maybe eleven years? Nice being back. And, Seattle’s always cool—caught Between Two Knees AND Scream 6 there, and slouched past the Space Needle Two Moons climbed once upon a story. And? Had one of those Chipotle-for-lunch and Chipotle-for-dinner days, which are pretty much the best
2023 American Indian Festival of Words Writers Award!
Just back. Another whirlwind thirty-six hour turnaround, but, man, got to talk with so many cool and excellent people, got to be part of the coolest awards ceremony—singing, drumming, storytellers, veterans. It was this: And at the end of it all, I got the mic—had to set my Whataburger sweet down for it: And got
Not really Reaper tour anymore: Missoula!
Such an honor to get to do this event in downtown Missoula, at the museum. Standing room only—there was even a spillover area (I see now): And, wow, to be introduced by Lois Welch and Chris La Tray: And then it was off to the reading races. Hit a couple small pieces, then it was
