Today’s paper included a special section all about the San Diego Festival of Books, which returns on Saturday, Aug. 25 after last year’s successful inaugural edition. The Union-Tribune and KPBS are the co-sponsors of this celebration of authors and readers, and I’m excited to be a participant in a panel discussion about “The Dark Side of Business.” Nearly all of the 90 or so authors at this year’s festival have ties to the San Diego area, and the number of local exhibitors and booksellers is up significantly from last year. Should be a great day at Liberty Station! Go here for more.
