Our next meeting will be on Friday, October 10 at 8 pm. Our guest speaker is Benjamin Liar, author of the stunning 2024 debut novel THE FAILURES! This is a virtual meeting. Please contact us at info@psfs.org for the Zoom link.
Benjamin Liar is the author of the stunning debut novel THE FAILURES, the first in the Wanderlands trilogy. He has been a writer, musician, filmmaker, game developer, bartender, cartographer, estimator, semi-professional drinker, ditch-digger, file organizer, rockabilly bassist, bad actor, screenwriter, house painter, passionate fort-builder, reformed preacher, drywall hanger, decent friend and terrible lover.
His name is obviously a pseudonym, but you still shouldn’t believe anything he says.
