In which I read (and perish)

First: my appearance at the Chiaroscuro Reading Series back in January.  I read Chapter 1 of The Pattern Scars – because I always fear that I’ll ramble if I decide to read from, say, Chapter 5 and need to set things up for the audience first.

Peter Watts was another guest, that night.  And he killed me.  Or he killed the Caitlin Sweet who lived in the post-alien-invasion New York City of his Crysis: Legion novel, anyway.  Karin Lowachee came along for the ride too.  Fun was had by all.

A few months later, at Ad Astra, I eschewed my fear of rambling and read from Chapter 5 of The Pattern Scars.  (The lovely authoresses sharing the table with me are Lesley Livingston and Adrienne Kress.)
