Agenda

đź•‘: 10:00 AM - 01:00 PM
Spotlight Signings

Info: Meet authors Laurie Gilmore, Ashley Poston, Jeneva Rose, and Julie Soto as we host them for book signings throughout the store. Please see specific ticketing for start/stop times and any guidelines.


đź•‘: 02:00 PM - 05:00 PM
"Finding Light in the Darkness" Panel

Info: When it comes to fantasy and science-fiction, our imagination takes us to worlds of magic filled with unique creatures and joyous, fun adventures exploring new frontiers. But with the light comes the dark. From trying to protect their kingdoms to surviving a haunted institution, these characters are in the fight of their lives from those who want control, power, and dominion over all. Join Rachel Gillig (THE KNIGHT AND THE MOTH),  Ava Reid (FABLE FOR THE END OF THE WORLD), Kaylie Smith (PHANTASMA), and Xiran Jay Zhao (HEAVENLY TYRANT) as they discuss elements of dark fantasy, crafting a fantastical world, creating believable complex characters, and trying to answer the age-old question: what’s right, what’s wrong, and is there a morally ambiguous grey in-between? This will be a one-hour discussion followed by a signing.


đź•‘: 06:00 PM - 09:00 PM
"Love Between the Lines" Panel

Info: Try as you might, the heart wants what it wants. It could be the right person at the utter wrong time – or just the worst person you imagined. It doesn’t stop the onslaught of sweaty palms, butterflies, and emotional chaos (in the best possible way, of course). Join authors Jennifer Dugan (PLAYING FOR KEEPS), Emily McIntire (BENEATH THE STARS), Tinx (HOTTER THAN THE HAMPTONS), Tia Williams (A LOVE SONG FOR RICKI WILDE), and Annabel Monaghan (SUMMER ROMANCE, among others) as they discuss their sweet & saucy stories, growth through love, the evergreen need for a romance read, and which love stories send their pulses racing. This will be a one-hour discussion followed by a signing.
