IN THIS UPDATE: Nomi Kane, Jeff Turrentine, Terese Svoboda.

1) Terese Svoboda is reading today (October 17) at KGB with Ben Greenman and Matthew Salesses, 8:00 p.m.

2) Nomi Kane just finished co-editing and contributing to a new project called Peep Show. “It’s a pin-up calendar by a gaggle of Center for Cartoon Studies she-toonists. Twelve of us have created beautiful and, slightly scandalous, illustrations to enjoy every month of 2011!” You can see a preview and order a copy at Kane’s website Brew for Breakfast.

3) Jeff Turrentine tells us that he’s finished the final draft (he hopes) of his first novel. It’s called Cities of Sand, and he’s sending it out to agents now.
