Author, Writer, Poet
Here is a photo from Unsolicited Press table at the Litquake Small Press Book Fair on Sunday with amazing UP authors Sommer Schafer, Patricia Q. Bidar, LeeAnn Pickrell, Cathy Shea, and Marianne Villanueva. I always enjoy my time with this group and I benefit from their literary inspiration.
Thank you to everyone who stopped by and to Litquake for venue and the jazz band concert in the background. I was hooked when the band opened with a Miles Davis cover. Music and words, a perfect afternoon.
If your going to the Litquake Small Press Book Fair on Sunday, October 4, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Yerba Buena Gardens, please stop by the Unsolicited Press Table to say hi. We’ll have discounted books and free literary conversation and irreverent jokes.

I’m thrilled and honored to have my new poem “My Son Won’t Talk to Me” up on Poetry Online: https://poetry.onl/read/terry-t
The posting includes an audio clip I recorded.
Thank you to the Editor, Tarik Dobb, and the staff of Poetry Online.
I had a surprise opportunity Wednesday night when one of the scheduled authors for Literary Nights with Unsolicited Press had to cancel. Since I’ve been working on a new novel, I took a chance and shared an excerpt. I was honored to read with Unsolicited Press authors Andy Smart, Matt Daly and Rosalia Scalia, who was the MC. These three always have inspiring words to share.
With notorious Unsolicited Press authors Kerry Donoghue, Paul Justison, Sommer Schafer, Patricia Q. Bidar, and LeeAnn Pickrell, at the Pints and Pages Small Press Holiday Book Market 2-6 pm Saturday 12/13 at Two Pitchers Brewery in Oakland. Thanks to the Bay Area Book Festival and everyone who stopped by to browse and visit!
Bay area locals note: Two Pitchers Brewery gets rave reviews for food and (of course) beer.
