Upcoming readings around my novel Old California Strikes Back, which for some reason, gets put in Travel, California, or History section rather than fiction, but everyone feels differently on the reality of griffins, amazons, and zombie folk heroes.

Old California Strikes Back is on the list of 32 Books on Resistance & Visibility by the perspicacious and witty Osmani R. Alcaraz-Ochoa and folks at Mijente!

The Patron Saints of Influence Reading at Shady Oaks Bar in Santa Rosa was great (and fun)! Thanks for having me! I loved hearing work from Tomas Moniz, Miah Jeffra, and the folks who signed up for the open mic. I also sold all the books I had on me.

Been running around Santa Rosa putting up flyers for Palabras del Pueblo and postcards about my book. Now it's time for tater tots and coffee. I'm up here for a reading tomorrow at the Patron Saint's Reading Series. I've met some nice people and hope to come back sometime.

This Sunday Jan. 26 at 5pm I'll be reading with Miah Jeffra and Tomas Moniz at Patron Saints of Influence at Shady Oak Barrel House in Santa Rosa!

We will be reading work influenced or about James Baldwin.

Come and hear about how I almost left college over a James Baldwin story.

I’d like to thank everyone who has supported my book! I truly appreciate it.

I’m looking forward to sharing more projects soon: the Xicanxfuturism Anthology ), Maiz Poppin’ Press, and hopefully my next book, Plurality.
