Kelley Eskridge, one of my favorite writers and one of my favorite people, posted this earlier today to the Nicola Griffith mailing list:

I am doing a reading in Redmond this Saturday evening, Oct 2.

The event is the Redmond Association of Spokenword (RASP) monthly get-together, which is a combination of open-mic and featured reader (in this case, me). It's at Victor's Celtic Coffee Company in downtown Redmond: 7993 Gilman Street, just off the corner of Redmond Way and 164th Street NE. The event begins at 7:30 pm, and I will begin reading after the first half of open-mic participants. I'm sorry I can't tell you exactly what time that will be.

I'll be reading my most recent story, "Shine." I expect my reading to take about 35 minutes. Although the event is in a public space, people with children should be aware that my story contains a couple of words that you might not want to have to explain just yet.

If you are in the area, check it out. Kelley is an awesome writer, a great reader of her own work, and one of the few people in this world I would take a bullet for.
