ABOUT THE EVENT
Under the California sun, Aemon brings a touch of coastal shadows to the nation's largest literary celebration. Appearing on the "Crime Fiction & Beyond" stage, he will join a moderated conversation about the global rise of "Noir" and why readers are increasingly drawn to stories of deception and moral ambiguity. This event is a high-energy opportunity for the West Coast community to engage with the Aemon brand through a massive public Q&A session. A dedicated signing tent will be set up immediately following the talk, where fans can get their entire Aemon collection personalized. Expect a day of sun, sea breeze, and dark stories.
