This weekend be prepared for sci-fi, fantasy and the queen - or rather, sci-fi and fantasy at the Queen Anne Library.
Guests of the event will have the opportunity to be transported to another world when science fiction authors, Nancy Kress and Jack Skillingstead read from their most recent works at 2 p.m., Saturday, July 17 at the Queen Anne Library at 400 W. Garfield St. at top of the Queen Anne hill.
Kress is the author of 26 books including 16 science-fiction novels, three fantasy novels, four short-story collections and three books on writing. Her most recent book, "Steal Across the Sky," is published by Tor. Kress has won four Nebula awards and two Hugos.
Jack Skillingstead's collection "Are You There" and other stories, is, "dark and edgy," according to "Publishers Weekly" which went on to say Skillingstead has "no pat endings, especially when death is only a pause en route to a haunting or digital immortality... Readers braced for powerful emotions will find this collection more than worthwhile."
Queen Anne Books will be selling copies of both works during the event. To learn more visit www.spl.org and the authors' Web sites www.sff.net/people/nankress/ and www.jackskillingstead.com[[In-content Ad]]
