Fourteen nationally known book authors are scheduled to appear at the next BookMania!, the annual festival that gathers book lovers and writers for panel discussions and readings.
The event, organized by the Martin County Library System, is Feb. 2 at the 600-seat Jensen Beach High School performing arts center, 2875 NW Goldenrod Rd., Jensen Beach.
Guest authors include Oklahoma native Rilla Askew, whose novel "Kind of Kin" comes out in January. The book tells the story about a man who is arrested for harboring a group of illegal Mexican immigrants.
Former F-16 jet pilot Lt. Col. Dan Hampton will discuss his book "Viper Pilot: A Memoir of Air Combat," in which he narrates his 20 years with the Air Force, his involvement in the 2003 Iraq invasion and rescuing Marines.
Author Les Standiford will speak about his nonfiction book on the role of the Sons of Liberty in the American Revolution called "Desperate Sons."
This year's BookMania! was in January and attendees filled the Jensen Beach High venue to capacity.
The event began in 1994 at the Blake Library with a handful of nationally recognized authors. It moved to the high school to accommodate more people as its popularity grew.
