Event #2
Southwest Families, Past and Present
I join three other novelists---all inspired by the desert---to discuss how we use the region to tell powerful stories rooted in history and informed by current events. The setting of my mysteries is crucial to how the stories unfold. That conjunction began with "Spider Woman's Daughter" more than ten years ago, and was especially strong in "Song of the Lion" and "The Way of the Bear." What fun to discuss something so close to my heart.

Event #4
Faithfully Dead: Crime and faith and the murky middle ground of belief. These writers dig deep into the soul. ​I am honored to moderate a panel with William Kent Krueger, Linda Castillo and Margot Douaihy. They each have come to the festival with new books that touch on faith and the murky middle ground between belief and deadly self-interest. Too bad we only have an hour...any one of them could keep an audience entertained for longer than that by themselves! Come early to be sure to get a seat.
