My ICFA, Vericon, & U. Richmond + Fountain Bookstore Schedules

3cities Seven days, three cities, and two temperate zones – that’s what the next week looks like!

From Wednesday to Friday, I’ll be in Orlando, FL, at the International Conference for the Fantastic in the Arts (such a great conference). Then I’m delighted to be a guest at Harvard’s Vericon from Friday to Sunday, and then I’m extremely excited to be a writer-in-residence for two days at University of Richmond, followed by a visit to a local school and an appearance on Tuesday, March 22 at 6:30pm at Fountain Bookstore in Richmond.

Many photos of planes and trains and silliness to follow (most likely over at instagram). My schedules are below – hope to see you at one of these! I’ll be the one with a bag of swag and some ARCs to give away…
