and News for Geeks Like Us

Delightfully funny, New York Times Bestselling author Gail Carriger answered questions during an author event at Powell’s Books.
From reading about a haunted nudist colony to talking about her methods of overcoming writer’s block, Kelly Link’s author event at Powell’s Books made for an entertaining evening.

Larry Correia stopped at Powell’s Books at Cedar Hills Crossing as part of his tour promoting Monster Hunter: Nemesis (the latest book in the Monster Hunter International series).

This might be confusing, unless you know that science fiction author James S.A Corey, known for the Expanse series (starts with Leviathan Wakes), is the pen name of two authors, Daniel Abraham and Ty Franck.
In anticipation of the release of the third book in the William Shakespeare’s Star Wars trilogy, author Ian Doescher is on a virtual blog tour, visiting book blogs around the internet and sharing more about the trilogy.
When we get to hang out with one of our favorite geeky authors at our favorite local bookstore, it is a good day.
Last night, I had the pleasure of attending an author event at Powell’s Books, Cedar Hills Crossing featuring Hugo and Nebula Award winning author Jo Walton.
