Tucson Festival of Books


I’m thrilled to attend the Tucson Festival of Books, where I’ll be moderating and paneling. Here’s the full schedule. Below, you’ll find my events.

Scheduled events:

History Mystery

Books by Cara Black, John Copenhaver and Karen Odden take us back -- way back -- and give us a glimpse at murder and mayhem through the ages. How much historical research must they do? How are history mysteries different? So many questions!

Out of the Past Mystery

Incredibly, people managed to unravel mysteries and solve crimes even before the advent of the internet or the high-tech tools we first saw on CSI TV. John Copenhaver, Dianne Freeman and Iona Whishaw have come to the festival with characters who figured things out the old-fashioned way!
