Parisian Phoenix Publishing

A crew of us from Parisian Phoenix— Angel Ackerman, Larry Sceurman and Joseph Swarctz— will be attending the Pocono Liars Club book expo next week. This free event includes at least a dozen authors primarily from the Pocono region of Pennsylvania, members of the writers group that takes it name from a Philadelphia-based “Liars Club” founded by Jonathan Maberry. It’s a clever moniker for a writers group, and certainly shows that the group has a sense of humor.

This is the entire schedule of readings:

10:30 a.m., Sue Jordan

10: 50 a.m., Christopher Ochs

11:10 a.m., Joseph Swarctz (Parisian Phoenix, Echo City Capers)

11:30 a.m., Angel Ackerman (Parisian Phoenix, Fashion and Fiends)

11:50 a.m., Gabrielle Ferrara

12:10 p.m., Kayla Erin Woods

12:30 p.m., John Harvey

12:50 p.m., Kieran Ferrara

1:10 p.m., Tracy MacNish

1:20 p.m., Walter Stoffel

1:50 p.m., Laurie Batzel

2:10 p.m., Roseann Brooks

The event begins at 10 a.m. and ends at 3 p.m. at the Eastern Monroe Public Library in Stroudsburg, Pa., not too far from the Stroud Mall on Ninth Street, with the Weis Market next door. It’s also a lovely library. The Pocono Liars Club hosts a fun writers conference every spring, condensed into one day where you can attend for free and pay for extended sessions with the presenters who appeal to you most.

They have also compiled a great booklet of all the authors, publishers and books attending the event. It’s really sharp and a fun read even if you can’t attend. Think of it as a way to expand your to-be-read wish list. (As if any of us need that!) You can download the pdf here: Pocono Liars Club Author Expo.
