The Atlanta Journal-Constitution Decatur Book Festival Presented by DeKalb Medical (DBF) is extremely pleased to announce the addition Kathy Reichs to the 2008 author lineup. Reichs, whose books and work as a forensic anthropologist are the inspiration for Fox’s “Bones,” join a scintillating lineup that includes Billy Collins, Eric Jerome Dickey, John Dean, and 250 other authors.
DBF is Labor Day weekend, August 29-31, on and around the Downtown Decatur Square.
Reichs will appear Saturday from 10-10:45 a.m. to discuss her work, including her newest book, “Devil Bones.” She will hold signings after her talk.
Joining Reichs at DBF are Billy Collins, former U.S. Poet Laureate and this year’s keynote speaker; John Dean, White House Counsel to Richard Nixon during the Watergate scandal; Jed Horne, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist from the New Orleans Times-Picayune; Oprah Book Club author Pearl Cleage; and John Bemelmans Marciano, author of the first new “Madeline” book in 50 years, and grandson of the original series author.
DBF will feature something for everyone: book signings, author readings, panel discussions, an interactive children’s area, live music, parades, cooking demonstrations, poetry slams, writing workshops, and more.
