JEDIDIAH BERRY
LAURIE R. KING

Jedediah Berry was raised in the Hudson Valley region of New York State. His short stories have appeared in numerous journals and anthologies, including Best New American Voices and Best American Fantasy. He lives in Northampton, Massachusetts, and works as the assistant editor of Small Beer Press.  The Manual of Detection is his first novel, now available in hardcover and paperback.

While Laurie R. King’s fiction falls into several areas, first in the hearts of most readers comes Mary Russell, who  becomes first the apprentice of Sherlock Holmes, and then his partner.  Over the course of ten books (and more to come!), Russell and Holmes challenge each other to ever-greater feats of detection, traveling the world from Sussex to Simla.  King’s other series concerns San Francisco homicide inspector Kate Martinelli, her SFPD partner Al Hawkin, and her life partner Lee Cooper. In the course of her five books, Kate has encountered a female Rembrandt, a modern-day Holy Fool, two difficult teenagers, and a manifestation of the goddess Kali.

Each author will read a selection of their work, followed by Q & A moderated by author Terry Bisson.  Booksigning and schmoozing in the lounge afterwards.
