Fall Fun So Far

This has been a jam-packed Fall, and it isn’t even Halloween yet! (Which, by the way, I’m spending watching a production of Dracula on the stage. How fitting!) In September I was thrilled to be a part of two reading series: The Inner Loop and Fall for the Book, the annual literary festival at George Mason University. Here are some highlight photos of the panel at FftB:

Leading the Sept. 28 Urban Fantasy Panel at Fall for the Book: Layering Worlds, Writing the Supernatural Among the Natural

Panelists Christopher Farnsworth, Jenna Black and Carrie Vaughn!

We laughed, joked and talked about all the crazy things we've researched in front of a packed room. — We laughed, joked and talked about all the crazy things we’ve researched in front of a packed room.

There were obvious perks to this panel: I got to hang out with well-established and truly awesome writers and hear all their bits of advice. But what this short but interesting/informative/funny hour reaffirmed for me was how fun writing urban fantasy, or any kind of supernatural elements into a story are. Oh, and did I mention I got to hang out with awesome authors?!
