I'll be reading in the "Around the World in 60 Minutes" hour, taking place from 12pm to 1pm

on Saturday, October 4th (I think I must be representing Germany!)

   

Readers that hour will include:

   

  Nguyen Do

  Malena Watrous

  Siddharth Shanghvi

  Niloufar Talebi 

  Zoë Ferraris

  Saikat Majumdar

  Erika Mailman

   

Takes place at the Koret Auditorium, San Francisco Main Public Library,

100 Larkin Street (BART station is Civic Center). This is always a really fun way to

hear snippets--great for our short attention spans. I've been directed to read for

exactly six minutes. This is my third year with Litquake (fourth?) and it's always funny

to watch people go over their time and have someone in the front row waving furiously

at them to stop. They need an orchestra like the Oscars!

 

The readings continue in hour-long segments all day.

 

After the reading, Books Inc. Opera Plaza store (3 blocks from the Main Library) will

host an author book signing and reception for Koret readers immediately following the

final hour, starting at 5:30pm. 

   

 

October 25-26 at the San Jose Convention Center in California. My panel is on Saturday, the 25th, at 1:45. I’m delighted to share the panel with two other witchcraft authors, moderated by my good friend Kemble Scott.

The panel I’ll be on is this one:

WHICH WITCH IS WHICH: Covens and Other Cliques
Brunonia Barry, THE LACE READER
