Your friend and mine, Scot Young — the driving force behind Rusty Truck and Deuce Coupe — was gracious enough to invite me to this month’s installment of The Friday Collapse [Virtual Series] hosted by the Collapse Press crew. The readings are hosted on Zoom and usually stream live on Facebook, as well.

If you are anything like me, then your shelves are probably packed full of books by these folks — and if so, you should join us!

*Fun fact — I’ve actually met a couple of these folks is real life!

Psalms comes to Ruben Quesada’s sweeping, monthly virtual reading series [and literary arts not-for-profit organization] that promotes literature and fosters a diverse and welcoming community for writers and readers.

Pop in to hear a vast array of talents and voices from all over!

Timothy Gager’s long-running series continues, and here at the HQ we’re delighted to be invited to share a little bit from Psalms From The Badlands.

Carly Newfeld’s weekly show, The Last Word (5:30pm - 6:00pm MST), is part of KSFR’s slate — and has been gracious enough to invite me to talk a bit about Psalms From The Badlands. I’ll be in the studio and everything (a first for me!), with our chat scheduled to air on Thursday, July 31st.

The show and archives can be found HERE
