Anna Banks, the author of the New York Times-bestselling “Syrena Legacy: Of Poseidon, Of Triton, and Of Neptune” (all Fierce Reads titles), as well as the standalone novel, “Joyride.”

The featured book for this event will be: “Nemesis,” “This combination fantasy-romance novel touches on issues of trust, allegiance, priorities, and self-sacrifice and ends in a bit of a cliff-hanger. First in a planned duet, “Nemesis” will leave readers wanting more.” –Booklist

Marissa Meyer, the #1 New York Times-bestselling author of “Heartless and The Lunar Chronicles.” She lives in Tacoma, Washington, with her husband and twin daughters. She’s a fan of most things geeky (Sailor Moon, Firefly, any occasion that requires a costume), and has been in love with fairy tales since she was a child.

Lish McBride, an author, bookseller, and all-around ne’er-do-well living in the Seattle area. She has written the much-praised young adult novels “Hold Me Closer,” “Necromancer,” “Necromancing the Stone,” and “Firebug.” When she isn’t working or reading, she is probably on Twitter, talking about how she needs a nap.
