LA Times Festival of Books

I'll be on the Moments that Defined America panel at the Los Angeles Times Festival of Books on Sunday, April 27, 10:30 am, at UCLA's Haines Hall (festival map here). Also on the panel are authors Douglas Brinkley (The Great Deluge), Michael Eric Dyson (April 4, 1968: Martin Luther King's Death and How it Changed America), and Bruce Watson (Sacco and Vanzetti: The Men, the Murders, and the Judgment of Mankind). The panel moderator will be Elizabeth Taylor, book editor of the Chicago Tribune.

We'll all be signing books afterward, but if you miss me then, come on and visit between 1 and 2 pm at the Angel City Press booth, where I'll be joining some of the other authors to sign My California, the bestselling anthology of travel and adventure essays edited by Donna Wares, the proceeds of which go to the California Arts Council to support writing and arts programs for children.
