Writing Pad is going on a field trip to Vroman's! Award-winning author Ron Koertge reads from his newest book: Sex World. In true Koertge form, his clever flash fiction stories are sure to entertain, capture your imagination, and make you laugh to the pee point! He'll share stories about a robot who claims that the sound of turbines is his lullaby, or how a fed-up daughter finds a foolproof way to do away with her horrible mother. You'll also hear about a page from Lois Lane's diary that reveals a surprising secret! Each story is more unique than the last and is told in a way that only Koertge can. Afterwards, we'll go out for a drink together in Pasadena.
