The 10th anniversary of the Saints and Sinners Literary Festival in New Orleans is coming up ... and William Sterling Walker will be there.

On Saturday, May 25, at 10 a.m., William will participate in a reading of Lambda Literary Award Finalists in the Hotel Monteleone's Cabildo Room. That same day, at 11:30 a.m., William will participate in a panel called "Miniature Gems: Crafting Successful Short Fiction" in the Hotel Monteleone's Royal Salon B.

In both sessions, William will participate with interesting, exciting colleagues.

In the 10 a.m. session, reading along with William will be Ellen Hart, William Holden, Anne Laughlin, J.M. Redmann, Barry Webster and Jerry Wheeler.

In the 11:30 a.m. panel, Daniel M. Jaffe, Jen Michalski and David Pratt will participate with William. Elizabeth Sanders will moderate.

And if you aren't familiar with the Monteleone, read its history. It's a fascinating place right in the heart of the French Quarter.
