EVENT: PARSEC Talk "How Chronic Pain Has Made Me More Autotelic" by Heidi Ruby Miller

EVENTS Meeting October 8, 2016 - Heidi Ruby Miller "How Chronic Pain Has Made Me More Autotelic" What started as a forced transition due to health concerns has turned into a wondrous full-circle journey as a creator, both metaphorically and globally. This is how I found my way back from writing as a daily business to embracing my words as the artistic endeavor it is. Squirrel Hill Branch of the Carnegie Library Room B - Next to the Rear Entrance 1:30 - 4:30 PM

INTERVIEW: Heidi Ruby Miller by Michael A. Arnzen at SIGMA

INTERVIEWS EXCERPT: Last year I gave a talk on “The Popular Uncanny” at Parsec, and Heidi Ruby Miller (my colleague in the MFA program at Seton Hill U, and my co-editor for the book, Many Genres One Craft), kindly interviewed me about the subject for SIGMA. I decided to return the favor, as she’s coming to speak to the group again on October 8th. If you haven’t met her before, you’ll see that Heidi is always effervescent and excited to talk about genre fiction. Here’s a taste of her wide range of interests and passions. MIKE: Tell us briefly about your latest book, STARRIE. HEIDI: Starrie was a nice side project within the Ambasadora-verse that adds to the main series’ mythos and sets up some events in Book 2: Scarred by Light . Surprisingly, it’s been my most critically acclaimed book so far, even though it’s not part of the original series. Read the entire interview in SIGMA.
