Readers of historical fiction don't want to be on the outside, looking in.
They want the backstage tour, the feeling that they are *there* as the
events of history unfold around them.
| Author Ellen Klages, who won the Scott O'Dell Award for historical fiction (for The Green Glass Sea), and the California Book Award for YA (for the sequel, White Sands, Red Menace) will talk about research, writing, and how to use details to make the past come alive. |  |
$5 collected at the door.
