Cheryl’s Gone (n): An incredible reading series in NW DC (note, definition not from OED)

I am thrilled and honored to be reading at this week’s Cheryl’s Gone series, curated by Joe Hall and Wade Fletcher. I have championed this series before on the blog, so you know I was a fan even before I was asked to read. I hope I do it justice.

I’ll be reading alongside Stephen Hunt (fiction) and Leslie Bumsted (poetry), who authors who exceed me in rank and who I am thrilled to be keeping company with on Thursday.

Here are the details:
