Saturday 10 November

9am Kaffeeklatche in JB’s nightclub.
Have coffee with me! If you like my work, you’re welcome to bring all sorts of questions. I especially love these Kaffeeclatches as a chance to pay it forward. If you’re someone looking for advice in the world of writing, comics or making art, setting up a writers group or what is a SFWAN, I’m super happy to help.

Follow me from the Kaffeeklatch to my reading at 10am
