Our July speaker, Mike Swain, has always written stories. Swain is currently in his 42 nd year of teaching classical literature and creative writing. He’s currently writing NevЯland, an Apocalyptic three-book series about a world where everyone over 18 vanishes. He also uploads stories to Substack and to a new platform called Ream.
He belongs to OWFI, Mystery Writers of America, Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers’ Association, and Ozark Creative Writers. He’s also the founder of the Lawton Fiction Writers. Mike loves Baby Blue (his 2008 Harley), and he rides all over Oklahoma to attend conferences and local writers’ groups.
Mike will talk about fantasy and writing, including urban fantasy. He recently returned from LibertyCon where he learned a new term: “cozy” fantasy. He will tell us all about it on July 12. So come learn what’s ‘cutting edge’ in the writing circles.
