    logo sedonabookfestivalSedona AZ (September 29, 2013) – After a year’s hiatus, the Sedona Book Festival returns on Saturday, October 5, bigger and better than ever. The fourth Sedona Book festival will be held at Yavapai College in Sedona, from 9:00 am until 5:00 pm, with over 100 local, regional and national authors, publishers, organizations and others exhibiting all things books and book-related.

    The Sedona Book Festival is sponsored by The Well Red Coyote bookstore and by Yavapai College, with net proceeds going to the Yavapai College Foundation.

    Keynote speaker, Anne Hillerman will be debuting Spider Woman’s Daughter, the continuation of the Joe Leaphorn/Jim Chee mystery series of her famous father, Tony Hillerman.

    She is also the author of the award-winning Tony Hillerman’s Landscape: On the Road with Chee and Leaphorn and eight other books. Together with husband/photographer Don Strel, she has recently finished a project with the University of New Mexico Press—an introduction and new photographs for a re-issue of Tony Hillerman’s book of non-fiction essays, The Great Taos Bank Robbery.

    From Protest Signs to Missiles: Why Peace Needs Teeth
    .By Tommy Acosta

    As a child of the ’60s, I grew up hating war—protesting and demonstrating against them, uncovering as a writer the global military-industrial complex, and seeking peace with my pen. Through the years, I saw myself as a herald—someone who could help people, through my writings, liberate themselves from programmed ignorance and institutionalized stupidity. Well, now that I am in the third act of my life, my understanding of how the world works has changed.
