Ever Since New York | NYC Release Party!

This isn't just a book launch — it's a tour stop. 🍒

Celebrate the release of Ever Since New York by Colleen Conklin with an evening that's giving a little bit book club, a little bit concert after party, and a whole lot of love for characters who feel like home even though they only live on paper.

In collaboration with the There’s A Lot to Unpack Here reading series, Kayla Kleinman (@kaylakleinman) will join Colleen for an interview discussing the book, her inspiration and writing journey. The night will also include book signings and plenty of time to mingle with fellow readers, writers, and friends.

Whether you're a longtime supporter or just love a good love story, this is your chance to be part of something special. Light refreshments and beverages will be available for purchase, and books will be available for purchase on-site.

One drink minimum, 21+ only.

About the book:

Emaline Levine is a rising pop star taking the world by storm with her childhood best friend Kieran Hayes—her guitarist and co-writer—by her side. With her quickly growing fame and success, Emaline is learning how to navigate the complexities of the music industry, while also recovering from an eating disorder and PTSD.

Kieran has dreamed of being a professional musician ever since he first picked up a guitar. Now that he’s living that dream, his lifelong struggle with OCD—along with his increasingly complicated feelings for Emaline—is holding him back from reaching his full potential.

Emaline and Kieran have never been more than just friends, but one night in New York City changes everything.

About the author:

Colleen Conklin is a writer and therapist who believes that the best love stories are messy, imperfect, and unfiltered. Originally from New York, she now lives in Nashville with her husband Sean, a touring audio engineer, and their sweet old yorkie Zen. She is a proud Directioner and Harry Styles fangirl at heart, and when she isn’t writing, Colleen can be found with a cup of tea and immersed in a good book. Her debut contemporary romance novel, Ever Since New York, follows a rising pop star and her childhood best friend as they navigate fame, healing, and falling in love on tour.
