My very first event to celebrate the publication of MELTED AWAY will be a virtual launch party, Wed., April 3, 3 pm ET (2 p.m. CT) hosted by LSU Press.

The event is free, and you can preregister on Facebook, at this link.

I’ll be giving a short reading and sharing images, by Jorge Vera, of the Qoyllur Rit’i festival. Then I’ll take questions from the audience.

I have many friends abroad, so this event is perfect for those of us on different continents and in different time zones.

I hope to see you there!
