“Liaisons in the Library” ~

In addition to our guest of honor writers, Jim Butcher and Leanna Renee Hieber, we have at least a dozen more Steampunk authors at the Exposition who will be promoting their books, and some who will be giving live readings from them. Our author readings will be scheduled in the Cyan Tea Parlor, immediately next door to Artists’ Alley and Printers’ Row in the Slate Hall. This week we added details (see below) of the first of our readings, and there will be more to come as we countdown the remaining four months.

Meanwhile, here is the latest clue card for April’s mystery . . .

These clues cards can be used in our immersive live action role-playing game (LARP) Steam & Sorcery; see below for details of the game. Click HERE for the previous clue cards.
