Open Books and Chicago Nerd Social Club will be hosting an in-store author event with me, Wesley Chu, and Wesley & Brad Sun. Also present: members of science fiction writers group Just Write Chicago to conversate and collaborate.  It’s going to be a Q&A panel, led be Jeff Smith of CNSC but open to all, followed by a general conversation about what folks are writing.

I’m excited about this great opportunity to connect with fellow sci-fi readers and discover new books from Chicago authors.
