Teague von Bohlen

Apologies for this, to all who planned on coming, but my reading on 9/30 at the Boulder Bookstore has had to be pushed out a month due to my contracting COVID over this last weekend. I’m convalescing well, but certainly don’t want to risk anyone’s health, so we’ve decided to do in on Thursday, October 30 instead. Please join me then, if you can!

Some new stuff to announce, and a couple of changes to the schedule–my signing at Time Warp Comics in Boulder on 9/20 has had to be rescheduled, so stay tuned for a date for that. And my reading on Oct. 11 in Bloomington-Normal is now going to be a far more manageable two hours, from 10AM-Noon. (I plan to come back to IL in the Spring too.) My reading at Boulder Bookstore on 9/30 is still on, of course, and I’ve added an appearance at West Side Books–an appearance with fellow Blackstone author David Slayton!–on November 3. More updates to come! Hope to see y’all at one of the appearances, if at all possible. 🙂

Had such a great conversation with Denver writer Jill Carstens that she had to split it up into two shows, all about the writing of ESCAPING DENVER and the writer’s life in general. Great stuff–enjoy! (Part II about to drop!)

Check out the two-part conversation here–and don’t be afraid to download the podbean platform–it’s small and quick and easy to use.

I’m hitting the road for the great Midwest in October, doing a signing at Bobzbay Books in downtown Bloomington, IL. Bloomington/Normal is one of my favorite (twin!) cities in the country, and a place I was glad to call home for a lot of my youth. Hope to see family and old friends make the trip if they can. And new readers too!

Two upcoming appearances in the next couple of months in Boulder, one at Time Warp Comics on Sept. 20, and the next at Boulder Bookstore on Sept. 30. Time Warp is one of my favorite comic book stores ever, and they’re kindly hosting me for a signing; Boulder Bookstore is a place I’ve never read at, so I’m very much looking forward to joining them for a reading and signing. Whoo hooo!

Had a great time at Tattered Cover (and also at the TC/Hudson store at the airport!). Thanks to all who came out. Tattered Cover is an institution here in Denver, and I’m proud to have been able to read/present four times so far over the years.

I’ll be better at posting these events BEFORE they happen. Been pretty busy!

Yes, six–that’s SIX exclamation points, because it’s just that cool to be having this super-fun story making it out into the world. Set in the same world as the awesome world of the very popular podcast of the same name, Escaping Denver is a wild ride with a ragtag cast of characters who are completely unprepared for the mystery, the monsters, and the mega-conspiracy that they confront deep beneath Denver International Airport.

It hits shelves on August 5, but it’s available NOW for pre-order at the publisher’s website (https://www.blackstonepublishing.com/products/book-imfq) and at other online sites. Looking forward to doing some readings and appearances with this book in the coming year that follows its release!

I’m getting ready to head up to Joes, Colorado for a week-long residency at Prairie Futures, courtesy of the art initiative Prairie Sea Projects. While I’m there from June 7-14, I’ll be roaming a bit and working on a sort series of essays focusing on rural life on the Great Plains. I’ve already started the writing a bit in anticipation…it’s tentatively titled “Once More to the Rural,” which is a tip of the hat to the great E.B. White, of course, and his essay “Once More to the Lake.” Always a favorite of mine, and it’ll be great to be out of the city for a bit, reconnecting to the farms and the folks and the festivals and the fare that so effectively inhabit a landscape not designed specifically for them. Where will this writing appear? Still to be determined, but it’ll appear, and I’ll post again when I know where.

Always grateful to join the Terrain.org table at AWP. If you don’t know Terrain.org, you should. One of the best journals out there these days, and next year (AWP Seattle 2023) will mark their 25th anniversary. I’ll be there–so should you, if you’re reading this!

Very much looking forward to joining these other great writers in a celebration of Millikin University’s new chapbook press. C’mon join us on Facebook Live on 4/29 at 7:30 CST (that’s 6:30 for us here in Mountain).
