If you're in the New Orleans or Baton Rouge areas, come out and see us this weekend. We have two exciting events on tap.

April 1, 1pm, The Cabildo, Jackson Square in the French Quarter
On Saturday, from 1pm, we'll deliver a panel on our book for the Tennessee Williams Festival. Jason Berry will moderate and David Rutledge, Sarah Inman and Toni McGee Causey will be on the panel. (And others connected with the book will be in the audience.) Here's the blurb on the panel from the festival's website:

Two days after Katrina hit New Orleans, David Rutledge headed to Seattle to stay with his family. His brother and sister-in-law, who run Chin Music Press, were deeply troubled by what they were watching on TV and proposed that David help them create a book on New Orleans — something that would both capture the rage and impotence of the moment and look beyond it to grasp some small truths about the city. Panelists, all contributors to the anthology, talk about the book and how Katrina has affected striving writers.

April 2, 2pm, Baton Rouge Barnes & Noble, 2590 Citiplace Court
On Sunday, in celebration of LSU's trouncing of UCLA, we'll be geauxing to Baton Rouge to do a reading and a signing at the Barnes & Noble. Writers at the event will include Toni McGee Causey, Sarah Inman, Juliette Kernion, Ray Shea and David Rutledge. The reading will be about an hour, and the signing will go until the books are gone or the Barnes & Noble staff politedly asks us to leave.

Hope to see you this weekend.
