Leslie Silbert (author of The Intelligencer ) was among the authors at the Bethesday Literary Festival (Bethesda, MD) this past weekend. It was a rather rainy day, so I only made it to the Barnes and Noble bookstore – but they had a slew of authors in attendance. Also had books signed by
Katherine Neville (The Eight) and 
Catherine Asaro (Schism)
