The Festivale Index of Authors

The usual questions is a set of standard questions that we ask many people, including writers. For a list of everyone who has answered the usual questions, click here.

Bibliographies are not meant to be complete lists of the authors works. They are a reading guide, especially for series where the reading order is important. Reviews of books for that authors are linked to the bibliographies.

How do we choose which authors we include? Sometimes publicists offer us interviews, sometimes we learn that writers are attending writer festivals or science fiction or crime fiction conventions or club meetings, or other functions.

Because we have the Series Series project, we are giving priority to writers of series, or large bodies of work. It's a joy to discover a new author who has a whole shelf full of fun and adventure (or soul-searching angst) to read your way through. Of course series are the big delight of readers, writers and publicists in the genres -- science fiction, fantasy /speculative fiction, crime and mystery fiction, horror and so forth.

There are also news stories in the Bookroom, and book reviews. If you are looking for a particular author who is not listed here, try the yellow site search at the top or bottom of each page.

If you are looking to buy new or used books online, we have a list of online book stores in the online shopping mall, including shops like Amazon who can provide help in finding source second-hand books.
