Orson Scott Card to Speak at CNU
Orson Scott Card, the best-selling author of “Ender’s Game,” will speak at 7 p.m. on Thursday, Oct. 28, at Christopher Newport University’s Ferguson Center for the Arts in Newport News. His appearance is free to the public, but tickets are required. Free tickets for the author talk, question-and-answer session and book signing are available beginning Sept. 28 at the sponsoring libraries of the Virginia Peninsula Literary Consortium.
Best known for his science fiction novels, Card also writes contemporary fiction, biblical novels, the American frontier fantasy series The Tales of Alvin Maker, poetry, plays and scripts.
Free tickets for the author talk, question and answer session, and book signing will be available starting Sept. 28 at the sponsoring libraries of the Virginia Peninsula Literary Consortium, which consists of the four public libraries of Newport News, Hampton, Poquoson, and York County and the academic libraries of Christopher Newport University, Hampton University, and Thomas Nelson Community College.
Tickets will be provided on a first-come, first-served basis and limited to two per person while supplies last. Open seating at the Orson Scott Card author talk, to be held in the Music & Theatre Hall, is limited, and attendees are advised to arrive early. Ticket holders will be seated first. Any remaining seats will then be open to the general public.
The Orson Scott Card event is the fourth free author event sponsored by the Virginia Peninsula Literary Consortium, which presented the best-selling authors Amy Tan in 2007, Walter Mosley in 2008 and David Baldacci in 2009. The Consortium formed in 2006 to encourage the study and enjoyment of books and to foster cooperation among all types of libraries on the Peninsula.
