About this Event

Join us on January 16th at The Haunted Book Shop for a book launch party with Jodie Cain Smith as she presents her latest novel, Black Clouds, the second installment in her Brackish Waters Series. Guests will enjoy a meet-and-greet with the author, light refreshments, a jewelry popup shop, and a one-night-only Jodie Cain Smith-themed cocktail menu available next door at Alchemy Tavern. Guests (21+) may grab a to-go cocktail at Alchemy then join the party in the bookstore. (You know you want to sample a Boozy Bellefontaine, a Saucy Swamp Water, or whatever else Jodie and the Alchemy bartenders will concoct!)

As a special treat, a one-night-only popup shop featuring Maragild jewelry will be onsite. Maragild was born on the beaches of Fort Morgan, Alabama, where local artist Amanda Gibson picked up a few shells and bones and imagined them gleaming in gold. Each piece is foraged, crafted, and gilded by hand. A portion of every sale supports Alabama coastal conservation nonprofits working to protect the waters and wildlife that inspire us all.

But at this party, the real star of the show is Jodie's new book. Black Clouds continues the harrowing tale of Jules, whose brief respite is upended by the resurgence of old adversaries and the emergence of new dangers that target the heart of her family.

About Black Clouds:

When monsters come for your kid, you go after the monsters.

Jules wants nothing more than to recover from the injuries sustained during her captivity and to live peacefully with her family, but in Bellefontaine, wishes are rarely granted. With her former captor missing and new threats on the horizon, Jules sense of peace and relief is shattered. The Knights may be down, but they are heading back up to come for Jules through the ones she loves. And they are aiming directly at the one she loves the most…

Book two of Jodie Cain Smith’s Brackish Waters Series goes back to Bellefontaine and back into the storm’s mouth in Black Clouds.

Don't miss out on the opportunity to get your copy of "Black Clouds" signed and to meet the mind behind the monsters of Bellefontaine. Book purchase from The Haunted Book Shop required to attend.
