For the first time ever in the BryonySeries world, our Calkins Day celebration will not be held on Calkins Day, which is February 13.
Someday, of course, a Calkins Day celebration, complete with parade, will supersede any thoughts of Super Bowl Sunday, and it will be the Super Bowl that will be forced to reschedule. But we are not quite there yet, and Ed and Nancy Calkins agreed.
So at the behest and in honor of Ed Calkins, Steward of Tara, the BryonySeries will hold its first Calkins Day Chat.
The event will be held from 6 to 8:30 p.m. Feb. 10 on Zoom. The event is free, but registration is required through the BryonySeries website.
You see, after we released Ed's first novel last year, he joined WriteOn Joliet, where he has enjoyed meeting other writers, as well as reading and commenting on their works.
But he's only had the oppportunity to chat with members of the group just twice outside of meeting times: at our anthology release party and our Christmas party, both in December 2021.
So he asked me, "Can we just hold a WriteOn Joliet meeting and just talk? And can we open it up to others?"
Of course!
Who should attend?
Anyone who wants to talk about and/or promote their writing.
Anyone who likes to read.
Anyone interesting in fictionalizing a real person in their creative works - we've done it!
Anyone who has questions about the BryonySeries.
Anyone who wants to meet the world's first dyslexic Irish vampire who is also now an author.
Anyone who just wants to listen in.
And everyone else.
My WriteOn Joliet leader Tom Hernandez won't be joining us as emcee this year because he has a work commitment. So you are stuck with me.
I hope that doesn't dissuade anyone from tuning it. But we are being transparent about it.
What is Calkins Day, you ask? It is Ed Calkins' birthday. And it's an opportunity to celebrate laughter and creativity.
