Mystery To Me Books is hosting it's first ever panel discussion! We will be joined by four local authors, Laura Bird, Maggie Ginsberg, Sean Patrick Little and Cayce Osbourne. They range in genre, writing style, and publishing experience. Come ask them any questions you have about writing, reading or what its like to publish a book! Still come even if you aren't writing a book and aren't planning to but you just want to hear these authors talk about their work!
Laura Bird- A Milwaukee native, Laura Anne Bird graduated from the University of Notre Dame with a degree in English. She lives in Madison with her husband, three big kids, and little dog. When she's not reading, writing, or reviewing books, she loves to exercise, explore the outdoors, and serve as an ambassador for Wisconsin Book Festival and a board member for Madison Public Library Foundation.
Marvelous Jackson, which launched in September, is a follow-up to Laura's middle grade debut, Crossing the Pressure Line.

She's the former managing editor of Madison Magazine, where over the last nearly 20 years her nonfiction work earned honors from the City Regional Magazine Association, the American Society of Journalists and Authors and the Milwaukee Press Club. She now works full-time as a writer at UW–Madison.
Cayce Osborne- Cayce Osborne is a writer, graphic designer, and native Madisonian.
