Well we’re very lucky this year!
We have managed to wrangle James Rollins as our Keynote Speaker. He is proof that our conference just keeps getting better every year. Mr. Rollins is a NY Times best seller many times over, and brings to the conference a “thrilling” energy that can only come from a thriller writer.
I have been a fan of James Rollins for a very long time now, and when it came my time to be the director, I knew I wanted him. I started out on bended knee, but turns out that wasn’t necessary. Mr. Rollins graciously accepted our invitation and we look forward to having him come. It should be a fun time for everyone.
You can read about him on his website.
