Want to talk magic, ghosts, and all things fantastical? Come to Morgenstern Books & Cafe in Bloomington, Indiana on Saturday, August 16 at 2 p.m. as Spencer Pride hosts a discussion with two fantastic authors: Don Martin and Kayla Ancrum!
Don Martin, author of Verity Vox and the Curse of Foxfire, will be discussing his new YA fantasy novel which asks, "What if Kiki’s Delivery Service took place in the world of Old Gods of Appalachia?" This book is steeped in real-world history and folklore, following a witch-in-training who must solve a mystery, break a curse, and win over a whole town. Don also wrote the non-fiction book A Dabbler's Guide to Witchcraft, which explores how to create a spiritual life that integrates science and critical thinking.
Joining him is K. Ancrum, an award-winning YA author known for novels like The Wicker King and Icarus. Kayla's latest book, The Corruption of Hollis Brown, is a queer romantic thriller about a boy and a spirit who fall in love after the spirit possesses the boy's body. Set in the Midwest's Lake District, this novel is part of her parable series focused on queer resilience, community, and generational trauma.
It's a perfect pairing of authors! This is a discussion you won't want to miss. Mark your calendars and we'll see you there!
