Five authors of historical fiction novels set in Eastern Europe present a panel discussion of their novels, their craft, and the little-known histories that inspired them. The novels presented range from young adult to adult fiction, from the court of Ivan the Terrible to the Eastern Front of World War II, but all explore unknown history from new and unexpected angles. The panel of authors (Erin Litteken, Gabriella Saab, Amanda McCrina, Marina Scott, and Olesya Salnikova Gilmore) will be moderated by Debb W. Hammond.
