READING IN CHICAGO MONDAY NIGHT

A reminder for Chicago friends and family that I'll be part of the mix at The Mix in Chicago tomorrow night, as part of the Twilight Tales writer's group early Mardi Gras celebration.

I'll be reading a new story written for the occasion-- "If There's Anyone Here That Weeps Like Mary", a horror story about Buddy Bolden's years in the insane asylum, as well as a sketch of Bourbon Street at 3AM and "They Carry Knives", the mostly true story of why we call it "Jazz" instead of "Spasm".
There will be King Cake and the wearing of amusing hats.

TWILIGHT TALES TONIGHT: "Better to be Loved Than Feared"

TONIGHT!
Fantasy, science fiction, horror and detective fiction by members of the Twilight Tales Writers Group.
Open Mic for July at the Red Lion Pub, in Chicago, at 2446 North Lincoln Avenue, starting at 7:30pm, 20 minutes for fiction, 10 minutes for poetry.

I'll be reading a complete crime story, "Better to be Loved Than Feared". A social reformer discovers that the reason for his success in city government is due to a serial killer protegee who takes Machiavelli just a little too much to heart.
