So I got a new job, which is great, but it also means I have less free time. Hence less blogging. But the Tucson Festival of Books is coming along nicely, and set for March 13-14. I’ve been doing the science fiction, fantasy, horror, and graphic novel programming. As promised, here is the list of authors my team and I have have managed to schedule for panels, workshops, and signings at the Festival:
Marta Acosta
Dave Baker
Elizabeth Bear
Leah Bobet
Laurie Brooks
Terry Brooks
Emma Bull
Charles de Lint
Amanda Downum
Eric Esquivel
Alice Hoffman
Nina Kiriki Hoffman
Jane Lindskold
Jeff Mariotte
Dennis McKiernan
Esther Mitchell
Seth Muller
Yvonne Navarro
Weston Ochse
Will Shetterly
Janni Lee Simner
Jeanne Stein
Joan D. Vinge
John Vornholt
Cynthia Ward
Catherine Wells
Susan Yarina
Timothy Zahn
Though many people will be attending the Festival for the books and authors, there will also be a lot of other things going on, including food, stage shows, and crafts for kids. The Tucson Festival of Books is a fundraiser to support literacy efforts in southern Arizona, so the money is going towards helping people learn to read. If you aren’t going, I highly recommend you change your mind. It’s going to be awesome, and admission is completely free!
