This year's L.A. Times Festival of Books is the weekend of April 26-27 at UCLA. I'm moderating a 3 pm Saturday panel called "California: The Great Experiment," with a distinguished group of authors — William Deverell, Matthew Jaffe and D.J. Waldie — who should make for an engaging conversation. LA Observed is well represented on both days:
Saturday 10 am

Saturday 11:30 am
Harlan Coben & Denise Hamilton in Conversation

Tickets to all panels are free, but required. Here's the schedule for Saturday and Sunday. I'll also be signing and chatting at the Angel City Press booth on Saturday from 11 am to 1 pm. I'll post other times when LAO authors will be available as the festival gets closer.
