On Tuesday, Sept 28, the Science Fiction Museum and Hall of Fame and the University Bookstore (who will be selling books there) will be presenting the second of “six Tuesday evenings with some of the Northwest’s very best science fiction and fantasy writers as they read from their work, answer your questions, and sign books.” This Tuesday, Kay Kenyon and Louise Marley will be reading. All readings begin at 7PM.
In future weeks you can look forward to hearing from: Marc Laidlaw and Richard Paul Russo, Eileen Gunn and Lucius Shepard, Greg Bear and David Brin, and Octavia Butler.
On Wednesday, Sept 29, I’m so pleased to announce that the Bellevue Regional Library will be presenting Susanna Clarke (Cambridge, UK), author of “Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell”. Clarke appears to be the hot new voice in fantasy. Jonathan Strange is her first novel (although not her first time being published), and is fourth on the New York Times bestseller list (hardcover) at this moment. She’ll be doing a book signing, and let me tell you it’s not too early to be thinking about a personally signed christmas gift for your fantasy-book-loving spouse. Or me, for that matter.
Now, their website says the program will be in room #5, but the sign outside the library says Meeting Room 1, which I’m more inclined to believe since it’s the very large, very findable meeting room.
