   hampton is trying to start their own book fest and they are very small   
   at this time but it'll be an annual event that is trying to grow.   
   This is only year two I hear and they are telling me they are working   
   out for much more in years to come and this year will be 20 guests but   
   the ones that confirm that pay day OF the event, they can't count as   
   guests, so a lot will be national ones you won't know about till you   
   get there.  Anyway, here's the small list they sent me and the event   
   will be held at the Hampton Roads Convention Center Jan 24th.
