ONLINE: S.A. Cosby, Chris Harding Thornton, David Heska Wanbli Weiden, Heather Young

The pandemic has created mix-n-match book festivals, and this Virginia Festival of the Book presentation is coming to us courtesy of a collaboration with the Wisconsin Book Festival. It's kind of a neat premise: The audience is divided into four breakout rooms while the authors visit each room in turn. Video is turned on and mics unmuted, for informal discussion. This presentation includes crime writers S.A. Cosby, Chris Harding Thornton, David Heska Wanbli Weiden and Heather Young; they discuss their books with authors Karen Dionne and Hank Phillippi Ryan. And, theoretically, you. Registration is free, but space is limited.
