Storytellers share their secrets
Join us as we delve into the mysterious and compelling realm of suspense, drama and storytelling with four authors who’ve mastered the art of storytelling. To set the mood, actors will dramatize key passages from some of these acclaimed storytellers' most memorable works. Following the staged readings, a moderator will lead the authors in a lively discussion about our love of storytelling, and why this most deeply human activity is also one of our most hard-won skills. Those in attendance are invited to participate in what we expect to be a stimulating and entertaining conversation. Books will be available for sale and authors will be on hand to sign your books.
