Author Meet and Greet: Brad Ricca in conversation with Marie Vibbert
Friday, August 23rd, 6:30 – 8 PM
Brad Ricca will read from and discuss his recently edited collection of stories by ClareWinger Harris, The Artificial Man and Other Stories (Belt Publishing), and talk science fiction and women’s hidden past in the field with local science fiction writer,
Marie Vibbert.
Clare Winger Harris was a visionary writer of American science fiction in the 1920s, who despite her influence, remains largely unrecognized. Harris’ groundbreaking stories dealt with climate change, interdimensional travel, intelligent animals, and cyborg technology, among other vivid subjects. Her award-winning work was admired by — and very frequently eclipsed — her more famous contemporaries, who were almost exclusively male.
This new collection assembles ten of Harris’s greatest short stories, including “The Fifth Dimension,” “The Fate of the Poseidonia,” “The Menace of Mars,” and the previously unpublished “The Vibrometer.”
Brad Ricca is the author of the Edgar Award-nominated Mrs. Sherlock Holmes (St. Martin’s, 2017) and Super Boys (St. Martin’s, 2013), winner of the Ohioana Book Award for Nonfiction. He won the St. Lawrence Book Award for American Mastodon (Black Lawrence Press, 2011). A lifelong Clevelander, he is the winner of a Cleveland Arts Prize and teaches classes at Case Western Reserve University, where he earned his Ph.D. in English.
Marie Vibbert has sold 40-odd short stories, 20-some poems, and a few comics. The Oxford Culture Review has described her work as “the embodiment of what science fiction should be.” Marie is a
computer programmer, a member of the Science Fiction Poetry Association and the Science Fiction Writers Association, and attended the Clarion Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers Workshop.
She lives in Cleveland Heights with her family.

Author Meet and Greet: Peggy Spear
Friday, September 27th, 6:30 – 8:00 PM
Join us for a reading, book signing and reception for Peggy Spear, author of Artful Deception (Deeds Publishing).
Artful Deception is Peggy Spear’s first novel. After a career of professional writing for daily newspapers, a major university, and the private sector, she turned her hand to fiction, creating characters drawn from a lifetime’s observations. A practicing skeptic but wannabe Pollyanna, Peggy believes in the magic of books, the comfort of friends, the goodness of kindness, the wisdom of cats, the honor of integrity, the genius of Van Gogh, and the healing properties of a warm Krispy Kreme donut. An amateur artist as well, she reads, writes, paints, and lives in Roswell, GA.
