Friday Quick Updates: new and upcoming events including Jenna Black, Lydia Netzer, Jay Posey, and (in September) Susan Cooper

Friday July 19, 2013:

First off, as I’ve updated the July Newsletter with them, here are some newly-added events coming up in the next few months. And no, it’s not a typo that one of the events is for one Susan Cooper, author of the beloved children’s fantasy series The Dark is Rising.

NEW-NEW EVENTS:

Now, a pretty big part of my attention is focused on the Saturday, August 3 Bull Spec summer speculative fiction event with Karen Lord, Ann and Jeff VanderMeer, Nathan Ballingrud, Robert V.S. Redick, Will Hindmarch, and Mur Lafferty. (And for folks nearer Asheville, there's a Saturday, July 28 event at Malaprop's you will be interested in.) But! There's a lot going on between now and then as well, so without further adieu...

18-27 — Urban Garden Performing Arts presents Richard Butner’s “Vogue Men’s Fashions” at 213 Fayetteville Street in Raleigh. More info at the Facebook event. “Vogue Men’s Fashions is not a play. It’s about a man who has come to 213 Fayetteville Street with a problem, a camera, and a lot of memories. Join him on his journey through a psychic landscape populated by Ewoks, turtles, and executioners. This show contains adult language and is recommended for mature audiences.”

We had a blast hosting Ann and Jeff back in 2011 and it’s sure to be another great evening. And! From 9 pm to late, The Raleigh Review is hosting an after-reading “meet the authors” reception (also free and open to the public) at their Writers’ Loft. And! See below for more info on additional events with Karen Lord while she is in the Triangle area. More info: /2013/03/29/announcement-the-third-annual-bull-spec-summer-speculative-fiction-event/
