Literary Festival – Ciaran Laval

Author Seanan McGuire made an appearance at Fantasy Faire on Monday April 24th where she was interviewed by Saffia Widdershins and discussed her writing, her characters and cats or maybe Bald Eagles whom apparently crash into her window.

Seanan is, amongst many other things, the author of the October Daye and Incryptid series.

Seanan has been nominated for two Hugo awards this year, The October Daye Books, (DAW / Corsair) has been nominated for best series.

Every Heart a Doorway, (Tor.com publishing) is nominated for best novella and on top of that, has also been nominated for best novella at The Nebula Awards.
