George RR Martin and Diana Gabaldon are the inaugural authors for “A Word with Writers,” a new literary series from Bookworks and the Albuquerque Public Library Foundation, at the KiMo Theater 7:00 pm Saturday, May 10.

Martin and Gabaldon are both renowned sci-fi and fantasy authors whose works were recently published in a new anthology, Dangerous Women, edited by Martin, with work by Gabaldon and other authors. Martin is the author of the immensely popular A Song of Ice and Fire series that HBO has adapted for its TV series, Game of Thrones. In 2011, Time Magazine named Martin as one of its 100 most influential people in the world. He lives in Santa Fe. Gabaldon is the author of the internationally best-selling Outlander series which is being adapted as a Starz original TV series to debut in summer of 2014. She splits her time between Arizona and Santa Fe. A new Outlander book, Written in My Own Heart’s Blood, comes out in June.

Both authors will sign books after the talk, and books will be available for purchase in the lobby from Bookworks. Attendees will be allowed to bring in one previously purchased book, and authors will sign a limit of two books per person total.

Tickets for the series are $7.00 for general admission. The first seven rows of the theater will be sold in advance for $20.
Tickets are available through the KiMo Theater ticket office, or online at kimotickets.com.

So, join Martin and Gabaldon 7:00 pm Saturday, May 10 (doors open at 6:00 pm)…
