If you're going to be in the Portland, OR area this evening, supernatural romance/horror writers Richelle Mead and Caitlin Kittredge are going to be at the Powell's Books at Cedar Hills Crossing (the new Beaverton location) at 7:00 PM.

Powell's events calendar gives the following introduction to the authors:

"In Frostbite, the second volume in Richelle Mead's bestselling young adult Vampire Academy series, it's winter break at St. Vladimir's, and Rose is feeling anything but festive. With the deadly Strigoi closing in, Rose must learn that heroism rarely comes without a price. Welcome to Nocturne City, the town in Caitlin Kittredge's Night Life where werewolves, black magicians, and witches prowl the streets at night. Among them is Luna Wilder, a tough-as-nails police officer whose job is to keep the peace. As an Insoli werewolf, Luna travels without a pack and must rely on instinct alone."

I've never read a Kittredge novel (the story sounds fun, but was she forced to name her werewolf heroine "Luna Wilder"?), but Ms. Mead's books are a very good time!
