About this Event
The Opening will coincide with the launch of her second novel in her HoundsHouse Orlando series, "When Magic Goes Missing!"
Inspired by the Florida of her childhood, Bess Auer’s oil paintings celebrate the natural beauty of a state transformed by decades of development. Working in the tradition of the legendary Florida Highwaymen, she captures the haunting feeling of a Florida that still exists just beyond the pavement.
Each HoundsHouse book also features a real-life treasure hunt, encouraging readers to get out and explore the actual locations, independent businesses, and historic landmarks woven into the story.
The grand prize for this book’s hunt is one of Auer’s original oil paintings, which will be on display during the Mills Gallery exhibition!
The Opening Reception is on November 18th, 2026, at 6:30 p.m.
