The Harrisburg Book Festival is thrilled to welcome New York Times bestselling authors Olivie Blake and Hannah Nicole Maehrer for a conversation and signing on their new novels, Januaries: Stories of Love, Magic, and Betrayal (Blake) and Apprentice to the Villain (Maehrer). They’ll be in conversation with New York Times bestselling author Amanda Foody. This event is free and open to the public.
About the Event:
In Januaries, the New York Times bestselling author of Olivie Blake (The Atlas Six) delivers a stunning collection of short fiction featuring fourteen magical ruminations on life, death, and the love―or desire for revenge―that outlasts both.
And in Apprentice to the Villain, Hannah Nicole Maehrer (Assistant to the Villain) follows up her #1 New York Times bestselling debut as Evie faces her greatest challenge yet: protecting The Villain’s lair, all of his nefarious works, and maybe (provided no one finds out) the entire kingdom. No pressure, Evie.
This event is sponsored by Millersville University Department of English & World Languages.
