About this Event
Join us on May 2, 2025, at 5:30PM, in celebrating the release of Jodie Cain Smith's Splintered Reeds. That's right! Our event coordinator is having her own event. Guests will be treated to a signature cocktail, snacks, door prizes, an in-conversation with Jodie, and book signing.
Deliciously Southern and with a break-neck pace, Splintered Reeds is a timely domestic terrorism thriller that explores the fallout of a divided nation, the strength of family, the journey through the complexities of grief, and the fight for autonomy in a world turned upside down.
Set in Bellefontaine, Alabama, domestic terrorism brought the Martins together under one roof to endure food scarcity, punishing Gulf Coast heat, no electricity, and no indoor plumbing. One outhouse for twelve people is no way to live, but at least they are safe. For now.
With every setback and stolen dignity, Jules Martin Jones questions whether she wants to survive at all. She keeps the family fed, hunting and fishing along the shores of Mobile Bay while avoiding both US Army patrols and The Knights, a homegrown militia group determined to convert all of Bellefontaine to their radical ideology and rid the seaside community of anyone who stands in their way.
Join us in welcoming Jodie to our shop, this time wearing the hat of thriller author for the first book in her Brackish Waters series. Reserve your copy today! Book purchased from The Haunted Book Shop is required for attendance.
