>Virginia Festival of the Book

>The amazing and wonderful Virginia Festival of the Book begins tomorrow in Charlottesville. Last year, I moderated one panel, which made me feel more a part of the festival than ever before. This year I’m moderating one panel, sitting on one publishing panel, and giving a reading as part of another panel.

First up for me is the panel I’m moderating on Making Local History Come Alive. That’s at the Library at 10am on Thursday.

Then I’m reading at Barnes & Noble at 2pm on Thursday as part of the Short Fiction panel. (With Jason Ockert)

And on Saturday at Noon I’m on the Writing Contest panel.

I hope to see you there!
