Today I threw out my whole lesson plan and led my creative writing students out on campus. I passed around books of poetry and held an open mic, making them read poetry aloud to each other. One actually gasped when I said “We’re going OUTSIDE” … but they really got into it.

Fair warning, #DragonCon2025 readers: the Gather is only half over and I am down to three copies of BLACKFIRE RISING. Best hurry if you want one! I understand The Missing Volume in the vendor hall is carrying the book as well, if you want to snag it there and bring it to my signing or my reading.

How is it I’ve been coming to Atlanta for more than 20 years, usually for DragonCon, and never gone beyond the hotels to see all the awesome things only a few blocks away?
