I am going to post some speakers that Kathy and I are planning on seeing in the future. There are others, but these are the ones I have in my calendar.

For each VIP ticket holder, Chuck will sign one copy from his backlist and as many copies of DAMNED as you like! Offbeat writer Chuck Palahniuk, the distinctive mastermind behind best-sellers Fight Club and Choke, comes to Bellefield Hall Auditorium with his new release DAMNED, due out on October 18, 2011. DAMNED follows Madison, an eleven-year-old girl who discovers the unfortunate reality that she is not only dead, but also that she’s in Hell! Of course, Palahniuk describes it better than we can: "Imagine if The Shawshank Redemption had a baby by The Lovely Bones and it was raised by Judy Blume, and you have my next new project." Pittsburgh, get ready for Chuck.

Sebastian Junger, award-winning journalist and best-selling author of The Perfect Storm, is fascinated by “extreme situations.” He has covered everything from war crimes in Kosovo to wildfires in the American West, and now he tackles the trenches of Afghanistan in War, a powerful on-the-ground account of combat, fear, and survival.
