Hi, everyone. I’m excited to unveil this site, which is more clean and fancy and official-looking than my Smythologies site. Please feel free to look around and make yourself at home.

I’m also excited to tell you about an awesome new literary series at one of my favorite coffee shops, Zocalo in San Leandro. Zocalo Spits: Arts in the Dro is organized by two fabulous writers: my friend/literary life partner/office wife Michelle Gonzales and my new friend and inspiration Soma Mei Sheng Frazier. It’s happening on the first Thursday of every month. 

From their Facebook page: Zocalo Spits: Arts in the Dro launches February 5 @6:30 PM. Featured readers include Ariel Gore, Paul S. Flores, and Jackie Graves — Zocalo Coffeehouse 645 Bancroft Avenue, San Leandro!

Please come check out some incredible literary talent right here in the east bay!
