Join Attaboy Beer and Curious Iguana for our third annual witchy book fair for adults on Friday, October 24, from 5 pm-8 pm at Attaboy Barrel House. Enjoy tons of spooky books, beer + seltzer, food truck grub, witchy merch from The Muse, tarot card readings, and book signings from L.S. Stratton (In Deadly Company), Alex Sharp (Magdalena Between Dimensions), and Melinda Beatty (The Witch’s Table). Festive attire and costumes are encouraged and welcomed!
About the authors:
L.S. Stratton is an NAACP Image Award-nominated author and former crime newspaper reporter who has written more than a dozen books under different pen names in just about every genre from thrillers to romance to historical fiction. She currently lives in Maryland with her husband, their daughter, and their tuxedo cat.
Alexandra Sharp is a writer and editor living in Maryland with her husband, two children, and her giant dog, June. A graduate of Boston College and Columbia University, she grew up in Montclair, New Jersey.
Melinda Beatty has had years of practice trying to explain to others why she was just having an imaginary conversation between two people that don't exist, so becoming a writer seemed like the best way to stop everyone from looking at her funny. After years of narrowboat living on the English canals, she and her British husband are now back on dry land in Maryland, where by day, she's a mild-mannered indie bookseller, and by night, she wrangles words, crafts projects, and raises a Labrador and two fierce mini-women.
About the vendors:
The Muse is Frederick’s first handmade boutique, specializing in jewelry, art and more, with a focus on local makers! To help you get in the spooky spirit, they’ll be offering a unique selection of witchy soy candles, spell jar necklaces, art inspired by mythology and folklore, handprinted t-shirts, hand-sculpted ceramic ghosts and more!
