Uncanny Magazine Issue #40
"Proof By Induction"

by José Pablo Iriarte


LIVE READING AUTHOR!

It's reading time! Once again, the Atlanta chapter of the Horror Writers Association is placing a bet that I can read and NOT sound like a hyperactive squirrel on drugs. And in fact, I'm the Nightmare of the MonthAre they right to place this faith in me? Will the Nightmare be my story or the way I read it?

Come find out next Thursday, June 24th! Watch us live from 8pm- 9pm Eastern. (Recordings will go up on the Southern Nightmare Reading Series page a few days after the event.)

I'll be reading from my short story "Saving Sallie Ruth" from the
 Derelict anthology. Details for how to watch live are on the Nightmares page. Don't miss out seeing if the squirrel makes an appearance or not!

I'm a Guest at LibertyCon 33!

June 25-27, 2021


And this year, LibertyCon is FREE with
NO attendance limits!
There are some good things about virtual!

I'll be on two panels, one for the Gunfight on Europa Station anthology, and one as a newbie to the con. I *may* be doing a reading, and potentially some other con events, but that's still up in the air. The con is virtual this year, so everyone can attend!

This is a very cool con and I'm excited to be a part of it. Check out the Guests of Honor and who the MC is -- you do NOT want to miss out!

Programming will be announced closer to the con (I know, it's pretty close right now, but panels are still recording and folks are still mixin' it up and so forth), so keep your eye on the programming page and come see the me virtually!
The Yap remains large and in charge over at ConTinual, the con that never ends. Check out these cool panels (and so many more!) featuring moi and a host of other awesome authors over at the ConTinual YouTube channel!

Sherlockian Mystery
Horror and Romance
Economics in Worldbuilding
Breaking Down the Genres
Reminder that we have a new anthology hoping to come to life! If this funds, I'll be writing the prequel story to my New West series. Find out how The Darkening happened from those who were there live...though they may not make it through the experience...

And speaking of experiences, if you've ever wanted to be in one of my stories, now is the time. I'm offering several tuckerizations -- aka your name or your name of choice in lights, so to speak, as a character in the story (details on the Kickstarter page) -- that will allow you to be in the story. Don't delay, tuckers tend to go fast.

There are lots of cool reward levels, so don't miss out, get in on the Silence in the City Kickstarter today! There are only a few days left for it to fund and if it doesn't...it's gone. And you don't want it to be gone, do you? Of course you don't!
Because I get asked this daily (often multiple times daily)...

Yes, Aliens Like Us IS coming, but...

No, Aliens Like Us still isn't ready for Prime Time, but...

I'm writing like a crazed wolverine (and yes, all the other projects aren't distractions, they KEEP me writing) so...

Fear not, Kitty & Company will be back later than you want but sooner than you think...

I promise.

So many bookie wookies, so much time to catch up on all of them while waiting for Aliens Like Us and the next READ THIS! selection.

Check out my Bookstore and Bibliography for all the things!

Lo
That's it for today but, never fear, another Update, including next month's READ THIS! selection, will be arriving in a couple of weeks!

In the meantime, stay safe and healthy, remember we're all in this together, be kind to one another, give love and support to all those who are on the front lines in any capacity, and let's be readers out there. Peace out, my li'l gangstas, and I'll catch all y'all on the flip side!

Love, Gini
