Authors Jessica Ryan and R. D. G. Lover are hosting an author signing event at Mocama Beer Company to celebrate their upcoming novels. Painter’s Beach and Rose Tide & Rust are both releasing in June, so guests will have the opportunity to purchase their own signed copies before they are released to the public! There will be bundle options of signed books and merchandise. Bundle details coming soon!Why Mocama Beer Company? It was the place both authors met with previous writing critique groups.
Jessica Ryan, a former Mocama beertender, was inspired by her time behind the bar to write some of her characters as bartenders, with one character who specifically homebrews beer! Amelia Island served as the inspiration for Painter’s Beach, a haunting coastal thriller, set on an island of fun bars and breweries, art markets, bookstores and shark teeth hunting.
R. D. G. Lover was inspired to write her Tides of Amelia Island romance novels by both the locals and the charm of Amelia Island. Originally stemming as a fanfiction of her urban fantasy series about Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, the romance novels bring her larger-than-life characters into the mundane life on current day Amelia Island.
Book Blurb:
