The Leaping Fool winter writers series continues! The November event at Orcas Island Winery opened to a packed house and offered ten writers reading about fiery friends, birds, lovers and more. Submissions are now open for the December reading taking place Thursday, Dec. 14, 6-8 p.m. December’s theme will be “The Moon and I.” Submissions are requested by Thursday, Dec. 7 at the email address below.

How do you feel the moon in the rhythms, expansions, contractions, ebbs, flows of life? How has the moon illuminated the metaphorical darkness? How has it brought healing, beauty, and mystery?
