*Note: Most of these appearances are open mics. I include them because each event allows me to meet, connect with, and appreciate members of our various literary communities in the L.A./O.C. area. Not to mention each event contributes to my development as a writer, public speaker, and literary citizen. To read aloud what you have written in private to an audience is to transmute your words into something more than just letters and line breaks.
