The last of the Blenz Reading Series for 2006 will be held this Friday night at the Blenz Coffee Shop at the corner of Richards and Hastings in downtown Vancouver. Six readers are on the playbill, including yours truly. We read from 7:00 to 9:00, and I'll be publicly debuting the novel I've been writing this year (draft three, and counting)-- I'm going to read a portion from the third chapter. This will be the first time I've let anyone except my writing group meet my characters. I hope Janie, my protagonist, behaves herself. She can be a bit flippant at times.
