13 Moons in May
Here’s what’s been going on recently, and what’s up next!
Hello friends,

If you’d like a sneak peak at some of the entertaining characters that populate the book, you can read about them on my website.

Also, make sure you catch the new episode of my podcast Jen Frankel Reads Random S#it!, released this past Friday, May 13. It’s my fourth collaboration with sound editor Sultan Ridwan, and I’m really excited about exploring the intriguing world of “Songwriting and Lyrics.”
Frights of Spring V: Many Moons
I consider myself very lucky to be participating for the third year in a row in the Theatre Nemesis anthology project “Frights of Spring.” Last year, Jennifer Venner (Blue Suicide) and I co-wrote the apocalyptic time travel drama “Kiss Love Sky” for the series. This year, I’m on my own writing and performing with a piece called “Eye of the Beholden.”
Frights of Spring plays May 10-12 in London Ontario at the Arts Project. The series is the brainchild of Jason Rip, and again features such playwrights as Jeremy Hobbs and Adam Corrigan-Holowitz. With 13 (!) very short plays this year in one pack evening of horror, I’m thrilled to be part of an expanded number of women playwrights as well as some of London’s finest gentlemen.
Trumped Up Trumpiness With All the
Trump You Can Trump!
Both the electronic and print versions of Trump: Utopia or Dystopia are out, and the reviews are in. T:UoD is “(c)reative and delightful,” “dark and funny and twisted,” and “(e)ssential reading/coping mechanism for the Resistance.” Follow Dark Helix Press on Twitter for sneak peeks and special deals!
The Canadian contributors to the anthology recently met with me and my co-editor JF Garrad at the former Trump Tower in Toronto, now the Adelaide Hotel. After we were kicked out of the lobby for raising the suspicions of hotel security, we convened across the street for the official unboxing and a photo shoot.
