Mystery To Me Books is hosting it's first ever panel discussion! We will be joined by four local authors, Laura Bird, Maggie Ginsberg, Sean Patrick Little and Cayce Osbourne. They range in genre, writing style, and publishing experience. Come ask them any questions you have about writing, reading or what its like to publish a book! Still come even if you aren't writing a book and aren't planning to but you just want to hear these authors talk about their work!

When she's not reading, writing, or reviewing books, she loves to exercise, explore the outdoors, and serve as an ambassador for Wisconsin Book Festival and a board member for Madison Public Library Foundation.

Marvelous Jackson, which launched in September, is a follow-up to Laura's middle grade debut, Crossing the Pressure Line.
