Critically acclaimed writers of fantastic, fabulist fiction from across the US showcase the art and craft of speculative literature.

Please join us for readings and conversations with the following authors:

Mary Rosenblum...

...has published 8 novels and more than 60 short stories with major magazines since graduating from the Clarion West Writers Workshop in 1988. Her work has been short-listed for a number of awards and won her the Compton Crook Award. Mary has taught fiction writing for over fifteen years. She lives and writes on country acreage where she also teaches workshops on sustainable living. Her novel Horizons from Tor Books is available at bookstores, and the “Drylands” collection, Water Rites, is available from Fairwood Press. You can find out more about Mary at her website.

Charles de Lint...

...is a Canadian fantasy author and Americana/folk musician. He established the genre of “mythic fiction,” which falls somewhere between fantasy and mainstream fiction with a magical realist bent. It is sometimes also considered “urban myth” and is known for being “fantasy for people who normally don’t read fantasy.” He is a winner of the multiple awards, including the World Fantasy Award, and the author of over 40 books, including both novels and short story collections.

Charles will also teach at the Fantastic Fiction Writing Workshop Series

Connie Willis...

...has won more awards (19) than any other SF author for her insightful, witty novels and numerous works of short fiction. Celebrated as a humorist with spot-on comic timing, she also uses her fiction to examine larger questions: the nature of God, the persistence of suffering and loss, and the role of love and redemption. Her much-anticipated new novel, All Clear, will be released in 2009.
