BOOK FESTIVAL 2016 Houston, Texas April 8–9, 2016Houston is the 4th largest city in the United States, and although it has many exceptional amenities, such as art and music festivals, ballet, theatre, opera, and museums, one notable absence from the city’s cultural landscape is a diverse, multi-genre literary celebration. The Lone Star Book Festival will fill that gap by bringing to Houston a world-class gathering of writers, books, and readers. Nationally and inter-nationally known fiction and non-fiction authors will come to Houston to speak to audienc-es about their ideas, meet with attendees, and sign copies of their works. With over 100 authors attending, the Lone Star Book Festival promises to join a long list of Houston’s cultural accomplishments. Lone Star College-Kingwood is a beautiful tree-lined campus, convenient to all parts of Houston.
