It's Catfish time!

Hi *|LNAME|*

This Saturday is the Athens-Limestone Public Library's 2nd Annual Catfish Literary Festival. I'll be joining over 30 other authors for a day of celebration of Alabama literature. They'll be discussions of how to get published, writing for children and teens, writing non-fiction, and more. I'll be one of the guests on the Fantasy & Sci-Fi Literature from 12:20 pm to 1:05 pm, and then I'll be presenting "The World of Thrones & Bones" from 1:15 pm to 2:00 pm. The rest of the time I'll be signing (and rune-stamping) books, so if you are in or near Athens, come say hello. 

The festival is open from 10am to 4pm, at the Athens-Limestone County Public Library, 603 S. Jefferson St, Athens, Alabama 35611. I don't know if they'll be any actual catfish in attendance, but there will be live music. Best of all, there is no entrance fee for the public.

See you there!

Attention Alabama Librarians! I'm looking forward to seeing you all once again this coming Monday, June 6th, at the ASLA 2016 Summer Conference from 8am to noon at the Corner High School,  4301 Warrior Jasper Rd, Dora, AL 35062. I'll be manning a table presenting, selling and discussing my Thrones & Bones books. I've visited 40 schools around the US since Frostborn debuted in 2014, 17 of them in Alabama. If I've visited you and your students before, please come say hi. And if you're interested in learning how you could arrange a school visit, please say hi as well.

That's all the news for now. There are some exciting things coming up in the next few months, and I'll report about them when we get closer. In the meantime, have a wonderful summer, and, as the Norrønir of Thrones & Bones say, "Be Healthy."

Sincerely,

Lou Anders
