Slog - Comments on Reading Tonight http://slog.thestranger.com/2008/07/reading_tonight_118 The air outside The Stranger's offices smell like boiling hot dog water for some reason. Let's see what's going on tonight in readings, shall we? J.A. Jance is doing two readings today, at Seattle Mystery Bookshop and at Third Place Books. I've never read a J.A. Jance book, and if I were to read one, it would not be the one she's promoting today, because this book is from her non-Seattle-based series. But if you wanted to attend a J.A.

@1: I don't see Connie Willis, but you're right: Sheree Thomas is reading at the U Book Store. From their website:

Sheree R. Thomas is a Memphis-born writer, editor, poet, and educator living in New York City. She has edited two World Fantasy Award-winning anthologies. The first, Dark Matter: a Century of Speculative Fiction from the African Diaspora, was also a New York Times Notable Book of the Year. Her work has appeared in a wide spectrum of publications, from Strange Horizons to Essence and VIBE.

Dark Matter is a great book. Sorry I missed this one in the calendar.
