SUN 3/30
There are several excellent programs, but the only one with "my" people is the 11:45am LINKS Celebration Brunch, which Carleen Brice will be attending.
I laid the hard sell about the festival on Walter Mosley after he spoke at the NBCC meeting in NYC last year. Beyond that, I take zero credit for the 4:00pm event, Walter Mosley: A Literary Life.

Hello, Bella,
And thanks for mentioning me in your blog on VA Book (on the "Life on the Streets" panel. It being Easter, it is appropriate to mention your peeps :-)
From the looks of things I may be the only writer at the festival you DON'T know, but I hope to remedy that Saturday.
Austin
Bella, There are more of us doing things before Saturday, too. Check out Barb Oakley & Evil Genes on Thursday evening and me & Frankenstein on Friday evening. And there may well be more... We are trying to act upon the advice we gained in your workshop. Looking forward to seeing you at Friday lunch if not otherwise. I am bummed that I have a publishing panel at the same time you're hosting YEAR OF LIVING BIBLICALLY author -- he was one of the ones I was excited to hear. Too many book panels, too little time.
Susan: Events for Wed-Fri are listed in immediately previous posts. Your publishing panel w/ Sue O'Doherty should be terrific, as you both are.
Austin: Glad you caught my "peeps" reference! I hope to meet you too. At 6' tall, I'm easy to spot; headshot is here.
Anyone interested in more info (excerpt, podcast, reading guide, etc.) about Marc Estrin and The Lamentations of Julius Marantz can take a peek here: http://unbridledbooks.com/juliusmarantz.html
