Saturday’s San Diego Festival of Books was bigger and better than last year’s inaugural celebration at Liberty Station. I showed up about 40 minutes before the official opening, and the bookstore and merchant tables were already busy. All of the panels were sell-outs or near sell-outs, and there really was something for everyone. I had never participated in an author panel before, so it was a great experience for me to talk about “The Dark Side of Business” with two other authors and a moderator. The Book Catapult hosted us for a book signing event after the panel, and I’m pleased to say that I didn’t know any of the people who bought my book or took my business card!
With panel moderator Diana McCabe, Union-Tribune business editor; Orly Lobel, author and law professor at University of San Diego; and Seth Hettena, journalist and author of a book about Donald Trump’s ties to Russia.
