Let’s Have Coffee in Tucson - AGAIN! We had such a good time in February getting together, we want to do it again! Grab a cup of joe, a pastry, or brunch at Beyond Bread’s Northwest location, and we’ll head into the holidays (yes, they’re around the corner) the right way: talking about our writing progress this year, our plans for next year, what we’re reading, and all-things historical-novel related.

HNS Arizona chapter co-coordinator Melissa Crytzer Fry will set up shop, laptop open or book in hand, if anyone wants to stop by and chat. She’ll stick around for at least an hour (longer if there is lots of discussion). Look for an HNS placard on the table and pull up a chair. No RSVP needed. If we have a big crowd, we’ll just move to bigger table!

Date: Saturday, Oct. 11, 2025
Time: 10 a.m.
Location: Beyond Bread 421 W Ina Rd, Tucson, AZ 85704
BYOB: Buy Your Own Bread/Beverage
