It’s always a pleasure to be in a bookstore, but when one is looking for 42 (the Writers of the Future book, not the answer to life, the universe, and everything) as a newly published author…
Well, I think it’s to my credit I stayed as focused as I did.

After more 🤯 workshops with Larry Niven, Nancy Kress, Robert J. Sawyer among other SFF legends, I had my first taste of a book signing - over 200 copies in one go! Day 5 of the #WritersoftheFuture workshop ended with a radio play which was great fun.
