Tucson festival of books
DATE & TIME: Saturday 14 - Sunday 15 March, 2020
LOCATION: 1423 E University Blvd, Tucson, AZ 85719
EVENT DETAILS
The Tucson Festival of Books is a two-day festival of book panels and events where booklovers of all ages can come together, meet their favorite authors, and discover new bookish companies and organizations on the University of Arizona Mall.
Annie Ward will be a panelist over the event weekend, discussing the following:
Femmes Fatales - Authors will be deadly serious when they discuss their latest novels ... each of which spins around characters who are (or were) drop dead gorgeous!
International Intrigues - Stories that thread their mysteries through foreign locations. Why not just stage them in Des Moines? Authors will discuss the benefits that exotic locations bring to a story.
The Scene of the Crime - In mystery, just as in real estate, it's location, location, location.
Q&A and book signing will commence after each author panel.
