Come Hear Me Read

Friday, 07 September 2012

Okay, so I’m going to be reading a portion of my short story “Losing My Head” at the Southdale Library on Saturday, September 16th. 

The Minnesota Atheists will be holding their monthly meeting, and this particular meeting will be dedicated to a discussion, and readings from, the book Atheist Voices of Minnesota. That’s the book my essay is in (I talked about it HERE). Proceeds from the book benefit Minnesota Atheists’ radio program, so I guess they have a vested interest in promoting the book.

In case you don’t really care for me, you’ll be happy to know that fifteen other authors will also be reading portions of their essays. This includes people who have blogs that people actually read, such as Stephanie Zvan and PZ Myers. Another former Witness, Robin Raianiemi, will be reading an excerpt from her essay. Michelle Huber and Ryan Benson, who wrote two of my favorite essays in the book, will also be reading, as will Todd Torkelson, who has one of the most unusual stories of any freethinker (he used to be a ghostbuster).

There will also be a question and answer portion, so if you have any questions, like, “Why was James’ essay included in this book?” you’ll have a chance to find out the answers.

The book will be available to purchase there, too.

So, come to the Southdale Library in Edina at 1:45 on Sunday, Spetember 16th. I know, I know, it’s not on TV or Facebook, so it’s kind of a bummer. You’ll also end up missing the last half of the Vikings game that day, so I’ll just go ahead and tell you now that SPOILER ALERT! they’re gonna lose.

Thanks for your support.
