FRIDAY AUGUST 14 with Kit Rocha at Powells Books
8 pm ET / 7 pm CT / 5 pm PT / 2 pm HT / 10 am Sydney / 8 am Manila / 1 am London
In Conversation with Kit Rocha’s deviously clever twin heads. Their new series starter DEAL WITH THE DEVIL is near future post-collapse sf adventure, coming July 28. We have agreed to discuss, among other things, how problematic depictions of sex and consent in work written 50 years ago (e.g. Anne McCaffrey) might still have been an important part of moving the field forward in opening up representations of women and desire. And maybe we’ll talk about writing ensemble casts. And answer questions!
A Virtual Zoom Event with Powells Books (Portland OR).

Professor Finn is ready for the discussion!
As always, thank you for reading. I couldn’t do this without you.
