This Weekend in Berkeley!

If you're anywhere in California's Bay Area this weekend, you should head over to the Bay Area Book Festival, which takes place on Saturday, May 7th and Sunday, May 8th from 11AM to 5PM at Martin Luther King Civic Center Park in downtown Berkeley.

Once you're there, look for my writing group, the Thoth Writers Collective, booth #36, located near the Main Stage--you can examine and buy books (plus enter a raffle for the display copy of Magnetic Woman: Toyen and the Surrealist Erotic!). Who are we? We're six writers currently living everywhere from Spain to California, who discuss via Zoom and e-mail. We take our name from Thoth, the ibis-headed Egyptian god who introduced writing. Members Margaret C. Murray and Dirk van Nouhuys will be staffing the booth.
