A live reading series featuring original science fiction from Cole and special guest writers, underscored with futurist soundscapes by accomplished musicians. Two writers spin original science fiction, and one musician underscores the readings with complementary auditory landscapes. We focus on Science Fiction so that we as a society are consciously building our futures, to see and talk about ourselves and each other in new ways- to see people of color, women, queer folks, and immigrants in the future- to show all of us in positions of power, and to show different ways of leading, etc. Science fiction examines not only the effects of continuing to mistreat the planet, humans, plants, and animals; but also envisions new ways of doing things (and remembers ancient ways of doing and being in the future).
Lyda Morehouse (she/her) leads a double life. By day she’s a mild mannered science fiction author of such works as the Shamus Award winner and Locus Award Nominated Archangel Protocol (2001) and Apocalypse Array, the Philip K. Dick Citation of Excellence winner (2004). By night, she dons her secret identity as Tate Hallaway, best selling paranormal romance author. Her most recent novel, Welcome to Boy. Net, was published by Wizard Tower Press in April of 2024. Between the two identities, Lyda has published sixteen novels and is currently working on her seventeenth. She lives in St. Paul, Minnesota, with her wife of nearly forty years. Thanks to her unique name you can easily find her on bluesky and a few other social media sites.
Scott Keever (he/they) is an award-winning guitarist and composer from Minneapolis. He has specialized in solo guitar, primarily fingerstyle, utilizing resophonic, classical, jazz and folk guitar sounds in his explorations while also focusing on Celtic and Eastern European styles.
