A Writer’s Night in September

On Thursday, September 10th, 6:45-7:30pm Straw Dog Writers Guild and The Longmeadow Adult Center present A Writer’s Night with Steven Billias.

Stephen Billias is the published author of seven fantasy novels, one collection of short stories, and a literary novel, Pilgrim Maya, that he wrote with his wife Bela Breslau. He is a MacDowell Fellow. Stephen has worked as a professional actor, street-performing juggler, dishwasher, New York City taxi driver, technical writer, and project manager.

With The Zen Time Traveler, Stephen is returning to the Buddhist themes he explored in his first fantasy novel, The American Book of the Dead, a black comedy about World War III issued by Time Warner under the Questar imprint.

The Zen Time Traveler: A Pilgrim’s Journey Through the Koans

“A sweeping saga… at once a journey, a spiritual exploration, and a meditation on the ways time, perception, and devotion intersect. With immersive prose that paints vivid scenes of Song Dynasty monasteries, Billias delivers a seamless exploration of presence, awareness, and human longing.” —Publishers Weekly (? Editor’s Pick)
