At Friday’s Octavia Butler Tribute reading, the multi-talented, fellow writer, and derby diva Liz Argall created this lovely sketch on her iPad during my bit.

I like the energy she captured (I did have my Boss stance on, probably while reading Mara’s part of the dialogue) and it will be one of my favorite mementos from the event.

In addition to being a burgeoning artist, Liz is a great writer. Her recent fiction “Mermaid’s Hook” is up at Apex and received a notable mention from Locus magazine.
