Event Report: Third Place Ravenna
I’ve just done my last local She is Here-focused book event.1 It was small, and lovely, a very community affair in Edmonds with cookies and soda and lots of conversation, and a great introduction by Leila Norako, a medievalist at UW. Sadly I don’t have pictures—but then I remembered I do have pictures of the Ravenna event that I haven’t posted, and in fact haven’t had time to write about.
Ravenna was a great event—just right. Third Place Ravenna is a small store, which struck me as a perfect venue for this book.2 She is Here is not like any of my other books—it contains my first published poetry, for instance; my first published artwork; and a very candid interview. For those reasons I wanted something intimate for this book—not the great echoing space of Elliott Bay or the even greater-capacity Third Place Lake Forest Park (where I’ve done my last few events).
The events folks were initially concerned that the store wouldn’t be big enough but eventually they came round to my way of thinking (thanks Spencer, thanks Bailey!). As it was, it turned out perfectly. Bailey rearranged the store so that the reading was a sort of 270-degree, reading-in-the-(almost)-round affair, with several blocks of chairs. (This meant I had to swivel my head a lot when talking, to make sure everyone felt included, but, hey, that’s a small price to pay.) And in the end every seat was filled and only a handful of people had to stand. I tried to find the best photo to show everyone, but even so, you can’t see two of the blocks of folks on the other sides of bookshelves—but I drew some helpful arrows so you can imagine:
Listeners invisible behind shelving…Most of the photos (thanks, Bailey) seem to be me talking—but I assure you Kelley talked too and asked lots ofo ifty questions—as did the audience. Here are a few more pix:
Eyes rightEyes centreEyes left…As you can see from all the coats and hats it was a cold night—I was truly delighted that so many people made the effort. The Q&A session ran a little long, and then the signing line was long, so I’m sorry that the booksellers were kept late. But also, y’know, not sorry because it was such a splendid evening.
And then we all went to the pub and carried on until they kicked us out. Oh, well. Even the best nights must come to an end…
- I have an event coming up at Charlie’s Queer Books, but that’s focused not on me but on my conversation partner, Olivia Waite, for her new book, Nobody’s Baby. And I’ll be reading from and talking about SiH at ICFA later this month. Thee are also more interviews and reviews to come… ↩︎
- Plus, of course, they have the pub downstairs that sells Guinness. Plus plus, it is a beautifully accessible store. I recommend it highly. ↩︎

Tomorrow! Reading at Third Place, Ravenna
Tuesday, February 17, 2026. Third Place Books Ravenna, Seattle.
- Event: 7:00 – 8:00 PM Pacific. Third Place Books, 6504 20th Ave NE, Seattle WA 98115
- Lovely cosy bookstore—with pub (more Guinness!!) next door
- I’ll be reading from and talking about She Is Here—mostly solo, but then a conversation with my favourite interlocutor (Kelley!), and if you’ve attended one of our joint things before, you know how much fab fun those are!
- This is one of those free-and-everyone-is-welcome events—RSVP isn’t required but it is a kindness. It helps the bookstore know how many books to order and how many chairs to set out, all that good stuff that makes an event comfortable for all.
- But if for some reason you don’t get around to registering, please don’t let that get in the way: come and join the fun.

There's nothing quite as freeing as completing a book.
Getting print copies in the mail. Sharing them with friends and family. Seeing your book on a bookstore shelf!
Not that it's over. It's just that you can finally breathe again, reach out to other writers, read other books!
