Good morning! How did Friday get here so fast?
First and foremost, I'm sharing a quick reminder to register for Calkins Day 2021.
The event is also a book release party for “Ruthless,” by Ed Calkins, Steward of Tara, is a work of absolute literary nonsense about the last seven seconds in the life of an Irishman and his afterlife as an Irish vampire, most of which never happened.
Calkins Day 2021 will be held from 7 to 8 p.m. Calkins Day (Feb. 13, 2021) on Zoom.
Real food and drink available if you bring your own ingredients.
Calkins and his sidekick “The Goddess” will chat about author collaborations, how to legally fictionalize a real person, literary nonsense. Irish vampires, deep time psychosis, and Astro-Time Physics.
He will also answer questions but doesn’t promise you’ll understand the answers. Calkins will also randomly give away three copies of “Ruthless.”
Local author and WriteOn Joliet co-leader Tom Hernandez will emcee.
Chef Tim will give three demonstrations. Menu and ingredient list provided after registration.
Calkins Day is free. To register, visit bryonyseries.com/registerforcalkinsday.
Finally, if you'd like to generate a little more kindness in 2021, read about my kindness journey in 2020.
The book contains brief, daily reflections that I jotted every day for nine months.
It's called Nine Months of Kindness, and you can buy it here.
Next up: some information and resources.
And beneath that, the 11 feature stories that have published so far this week (with seven more waiting to go online - yes, it's been a full week).
