On Wednesday, January 15, Mary VanAlstine reads from their work.

Mary VanAlstine (they/she) is a writer, artist, and therapist. Writing and art have been a hobby for some twenty years now since they were a goofy little middle schooler. Mary grew up devouring fantasy, especially urban fantasy, and hearing about the writing craft from their father, a science fiction writer. Mary is best known for The Torchwood Trilogy. Mary lives in the city in Minnesota with their nerdy husband, a dramatic preschooler, a very dumb puggle named Bilbo Waggins, and two perfectly angelic cats.

Speculations is a co-production of DreamHaven and SF Minnesota, a multicultural, multimedia organization that also sponsors the midsummer speculative fiction convention, Diversicon.
