About the writers/readers:

Veronica Belmont is a technology and gaming-centric video host based in San Francisco. Currently her projects include Tekzilla (a weekly tech help and how-to show on Revision3.com), Fact or Fictional on TechFeed, and The Sword and Laser, a science fiction and fantasy video show, podcast and community, co-hosted with Tom Merritt. Recently Veronica appeared on BBC America as the co-host of Gizmodo: The Gadget Testers, and she was the original host of Qore on the PlayStation Network. As a voice actor, Veronica has appeared in Fallout: New Vegas (Old World Blues) and the animated series SuperF*ckers.

Mattilda Bernstein Sycamore is most recently the author of a memoir, The End of San Francisco. She's also the editor of Why Are Faggots So Afraid of Faggots?: Flaming Challenges to Masculinity, Objectification, and the Desire to Conform (AK Press 2012), a Stonewall Book Awards Honor Book. Mattilda is the author of two novels, So Many Ways to Sleep Badly (City Lights 2008) and Pulling Taffy (Suspect Thoughts 2003). She is the editor of four additional nonfiction anthologies, Nobody Passes: Rejecting the Rules of Gender and Conformity (Seal 2007), That’s Revolting! Queer Strategies for Resisting Assimilation (Soft Skull 2004; 2008), Dangerous Families: Queer Writing on Surviving (Haworth 2004), and Tricks and Treats: Sex Workers Write about Their Clients (Haworth 2000), which now also appears in Italian (Effepi Libri 2007).

Thaisa Frank’s third collection of short fiction is The Fiction of Enchantment. Her most recent novel, Heidegger’s Glasses, takes place in the mythical haven of an underground mine during WWII, the safety of which is threatened forever. It was published in 2010, reissued in paperback in 2011 and sold to ten foreign countries before publication. She is also the author of Sleeping in Velvet and A Brief History of Camouflage, both on the Bestseller List of the San Francisco Chronicle. Thaisa has received two PEN awards and her stories have been widely-anthologized—the most recent of which are in A Dictionary of Dirty Words, Harper/Collins Reader’s Choice and Rozne Ksztatly Milocsi. She has published critical essays on writing and art and is the author of the Afterward to Viking/Penguin’s most recent edition of Voltaire. 

Seth Harwood’s new novel In Broad Daylight comes out May 7th, and he’s excited to read from it publicly for the first time at Writers with Drinks. In Broad Daylight features FBI agent Jess Harding chasing a bloody serial killer across the summer planes and white nights of Alaska. Seth has also published three other crime novels—Young Junius, This Is Life and the bestselling Jack Wakes Up – the last two of which take place in San Francisco and feature Jack Palms, ex-actor and would-be private sleuth.

Janis Cooke Newman is the author of the Bay Area Bestseller, Mary (published in hardcover by MacAdam/Cage, and in paperback by Harcourt), a historical novel about Mary Todd Lincoln. Mary was a Los Angeles Times Book Prize Finalist, chosen as USA Today's Best Historical Fiction of the Year, and a Booksense Year-End Highlight. Newman is also the author of The Russian Word for Snow (St. Martin's Press, 2001), a memoir about adopting her son from a Moscow orphanage.
