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.
