This past weekend, Charlottesville hosted the Virginia Festival of the Book.
On a panel about southern writing, I got to chat with Ted Geltner about his Harry Crews biography and Jean W. Cash about her essay anthology, Rough South, Rural South. The next day, I talked with Randall Silvis, Robin Yocum, Diane Les Becquets, and John Hart about crime fiction on a "Caught Up in Crime" panel.

Terrence McCauley was on a swell "Techno Thriller" panel and discussed his new book, A Murder of Crows.
