August 1st is the day that The Brahms Deception hits the shelves!  For those of you in the know, it will be released a bit earlier on Amazon.

May 14th and 15th Louise will be leading two workshops at the wonderful, rather intimate writer’s conference, Write on the River, held in Wenatchee, Washington.  She’ll be doing a session for young writers called “Writing the Fantastic”, and one for adults called “The Telling Detail.”  The keynote speaker for this event is the bestselling thriller writer Chelsea Cain.

I’m busy this month!  This is a special event, because the Seattle chapter of the NWBA is active and thoughtful.  Wednesday, March 16th, I’ll be joining them to speak on historical fiction.  6:00 p.m. is a no-host dinner and social hour, and the talk begins at 7:00.  Join these literary-minded women and me at Third Place Books Commons in Lake Forest Park, Washington.

March 11, 2011, at 7:00 p.m., Louise will read at the University Bookstore in Seattle as part of the Richard Hugo House Fantastic Fiction series.

Louise will present a writing workshop titled “The Past as Prologue” at Richard Hugo House March 13, as part of their Fantastic Fiction series.  Come and explore ways to integrate historical details into your fiction!   For more information or to register for the workshop, visit www.nwmediaarts.com, or email events@nwmediaarts.com.

World Fantasy Convention is in San Jose, CA, October 29th through November 1st. Louise will read from The Singers of Nevya at 8:00 on Thursday, October 29th.

Louise’s story “Starchild Wondersmith” is serialized in Cricket Magazine, September and October, 2009.
