Join us for another installment of Novel Night, a monthly celebration of all things prose! Here’s how it works: published authors will read from their books and there’ll be an audience Q & A. And we’ll also have “Book Talk,” in which an intrepid Malvern staff member will introduce you to one of our favorite prose titles. Also worth noting: we’re offering 20% OFF ALL FICTION TITLES during Novel Night (from 6pm till closing).

This month’s Novel Night guests are Barbara Ann Wright, Matthew Borgard, and Erin Kennemer.

Barbara Ann Wright writes fantasy and sci-fi. Her fiction has made Tor.com’s Reviewer’s Choice books of 2012 and BookRiot’s 100 Must-Read Sci-Fi Fantasy Novels By Female Authors. She has been a Foreword Review BOTYA Finalist as well as a Goldie and Lambda Award finalist. She’s won five Rainbow Awards.

Matthew Borgard is a writer and software engineer living in Cedar Park. His short fiction has appeared in several collections, including the Stoker-nominated Dark Tales of Lost  Civilizations, as well as Crowded Magazine. His nonfiction writing has appeared on Eleven-ThirtyEight and in Cheyenne’s hometown newspaper, the Wyoming Tribune-Eagle.

Erin Kennemer is a speculative fiction author of several short stories. She studied at Texas A&M and continues to owe them money to this day. You can find her elbow deep in the dirt outside on off days, either gardening or burying another body. If you want on her good side, bring hummus and veggies.
