Events Coming Up: a Haarth Q&A, plus National Flash Fiction Day
FB Group Haarth — & A Special Q&A
Last week I mentioned a forthcoming Q&A on Twitter, in which I’ll be responding to questions on Daughter of Blood and The Wall of Night series posed by members of the newly formed FB Group Haarth:

This will be going ahead next Saturday, 18 June (almost at the nadir or zenith of the year, depending on your hemisphere) on Twitter, using the following hashtag:
#TheWallOfNight
I’ll be on Twitter, introducing the Q&A and answering three questions from members of the group —about the series & Daughter Of Blood in particular — at 11.30 pm NZ time, which equates with:
Just for a range of time zones. 😉
What I’ll do: I’ll answer three questions using consecutive tweets and the #TheWallOfNight hashtag, until my replies are done. Then I’ll ‘hover’ in the Twitter-verse for a while longer to see if there are responses or follow-up questions — and although this event has been generated by the Haarth FB group (so a big ‘thank you’ to Team Haarth), anyone is welcome to join in the fun. And if you just want to lurk, that’s absolutely fine, too. 😉
If you’re not on Twitter, fear not — if you search on “Twitter #TheWallOfNight” you should see all the tweets in their sequential order. I will post the full Q&A here as well, probably on the following Monday, when you can still join in with a comment or question if you wish.
I think it’ll be fun, so I do hope you’ll join me and those of the Haarth group who can make it.

Flash In The Pan: National Flash Fiction Day
NZ National Flash Fiction Day is on June 22nd and in Christchurch we’re celebrating with Flash in the Pan, an event that will “bring together established and emerging flash fiction aficionados for a spirited, uplifting, unexpected and engaging literary evening.”
Although it may seem odd given my penchant for epic fantasy, I do also pen flash (short short) fiction from time to time — perhaps not surprisingly since it is first cousin to poetry, which I also write.
At any rate, I am honoured to be one of the eight guest readers (although still trying to decide which flash story to read.)
If you’re in Christchurch and keen to “challenge your ideas of fiction with readings … of this experimental form that links traditional narrative while pushing on boundaries of poetry and dialogue” then click on the following link for essential details (like time, location, entry etc.)
Facebook Land is primed and ready to tweet 😀
*See* you on Saturday!
Will do! 😉
