The LA Times Festival of Books

I’ve been gently nudged to post about this, and for good reason: the LA Times Festival of Books, which will be held this weekend (April 23 and 24) is one that I’ve long wanted to attend because of the sheer size, scope and star power of the author attendees, both within the crime fiction genre and outside of it. Look for great panel sessions and long, long lines to get your books signed at a variety of different booths.

The Mystery Bookstore will, as always, host a signing table and many favorite authors — yours and mine — will be signing books throughout the weekend.

Mysterious Galaxy will also be there, sharing a table with Penguin Books. The area chapter of Sisters in Crime will have attending authors as well.

And no doubt there will be reports available later from the likes of these fine folk.
