I’ll be reading from NINE-TENTHS on September 19th at 6:30pm, at Glad Day Lit Bookshop (at their new space at 32 Lisgar St., Toronto). I’ll be bringing along copies of Lips Like Ice, Time and Tide, and Nine-Tenths to sign, and the reading is going to be stacked with some great local talent.

See you there!

The Bi+ Arts Festival Returns to Toronto September 18 to 21!

This 8th annual event showcases authors, drag performers, visual artists, comedians and more to resist bi+ erasure and amplify 2SLGBTQ+ voices.

As a community-based queer arts festival celebrating the voices of bisexual, pansexual, fluid and 2S artists, performers and writers, this year’s events include a magazine launch, an authors’ showcase, solo and group art exhibition receptions, multidisciplinary workshops and a closing cabaret featuring drag, music and stand-up comedy.

The festival will take place at some of Toronto’s most iconic queer locales and arts venues, including Three Dollar Bill in Parkdale, Glad Day Lit’s new home off West Queen West, Church Street (via a pop-up space) and more.

To celebrate the new location of Glad Day Bookshop (the oldest continuously operating LGBTQAI2S+ bookshop in the world), they’re hosting a read-a-thon. Local authors from all over the rainbow will be popping in to read from their latest works and celebrate.

I’ll be there reading from my brand new novel NINE-TENTHS at around 1pmish, but other readers include Justin Ancheta, Asher Rose, David Bateman, Lennon Bradford, Joi Lamar, Rose Sutherland, Anna Fitzpatrick, Alli Temple, MJ Lyons, Jeffery Luscombe, Curtis Campbell, Raymond Helkio, R.C. Hannah, Jiaqing Wilson-Yang, Jingshu Yao, Dorianne Emmerton, Matteo L. Cerilli, Kirk DeMatas, Justin Ancheta, Lennon Bradford, Markus Harwood-Jones, J. Marshall Freeman, Allyson McOuat, Sydney Hegele, Ramona, Thaddeus Cramer, Khashayar Kess Mohammadi, Nala Ismacil, and the always-delightful and forever incomparable Titus Androgynous.

Hope to see you there!
