More exciting than a rocket taking off from Cape Canaveral, burning a hole in a cloud. Something I actually saw when I was 19—working in a summer camp on Lake Ocala in central Florida. We took busloads of our campers to see Apollo 11 take off, ferrying the first astronauts to land on the Moon.
But my launch is for a book, FOSSIL DRAGON, with an event at Village Bookstore in Lynden, WA on Saturday, the 24th of October, at four o'clock in the afternoon. You can and probably should get advance tickets on Eventbrite, with this link:

Eventbrite costs only $5 for entry, taken off the price of a book if you purchase one. This helps support the independent bookstore as well as this local writer. And yes, I do autographs on request. The photo is of the flyers that have been placed around in coffee houses and such in both Lynden and Bellingham. So—as they say—come one and all if you live in the northwest corner of Washington State.
FOSSIL DRAGON is in the subgenre of climate fiction or cli-fi. But no actual dragons, nor any fantasy at all, instead flash floods, droughts, hailstorms, wildfire smoke, pestilence, romance and treachery. And the villains this time are all women. And the attack involves a clown car. Really.
