If you going to be in the New Orleans area August 30 – September 1, stop by the Hotel Monteleone in the French Quarter. Writers from various genres will be attending and readers are welcome. Hosted by author Heather Graham, this has become an annual event that started in the wake of Hurricane Katrina to help bring visitors back to the city. A host of well-known authors will be attending and speaking. There will also be panel discussions (I’ll be on a yet to be disclosed panel). Registration and information can be found at: www.writersforneworleans.com.
