4.45 Friday: The Psychothriller Panel - with Daisy Bateman, Audrey Lee and Vinnie Hansen. Ellen Kirschmann moderating.

7pm Saturday: co-hosting a Lefty banquet table with best novel nominee. Leslie Karst.

TBC: an author-reader connection. What's that? Half a dozen of us getting together to talk about books, share some treats and have a glass of something. (My books I'll grant you, but also I'll bring the treats and it's my round.)
