MARCH GALLERY WALK – 3/5 @ 6PM at THE BOOK CELLAR

Science fiction and fantasy author Alexander Potter discusses what happens when the truth creeps into fiction. Years ago he gave up on trying to keep his family, friends, and personal history from splashing all over his stories. At  the event he’ll talk about how that affects his writing, including his latest story in A GIRL’S GUIDE TO GUNS AND MONSTERS.  From the tenet of “write what you know” to the concept that the author is every character in a given work, Alex will share selections of his fiction that illustrate his life, and talk about the process of putting oneself on the page.  In this case, the fiction may be stranger than the truth, but it’s a close call.
