SUMMARY:Bookstore Romance Day: Signing\, Sip and Sizzle!
DESCRIPTION:Ahhh… the joy of a great romance. We’re celebrating all things romance on National Bookstore Romance Day with an all-day Sip & Sizzle – plenty of treats PLUS 10% off any romance title in the store. (We have a special display of them to get you started on our favorites). \n\n\n\nEven better\, we have a VERY special signing with author Christina Capri from 1:30 – 3:30 — don’t miss the window on this spectacular sipping and sizzling day! \n\n\n\nMeet Christina Capri\, author of Walk of Fame\, who writes what she loves to read: spellbinding love stories with a side of spice. It took her a long time to figure out what she wanted to be when she grew up and she should’ve known sooner\, if sneaking Harlequin romance books from the Winn-Dixie since she was 12 was any indication. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nShe lives on Sullivan’s Island\, South Carolina with her book boyfriendish husband\, two incredible children\, and their golden retriever Queso. She’s easily susceptible to hanger and chooses Mexican restaurants based solely on the quality of the queso and not the overall food\, much to her husband’s dismay and children’s joy. She always has a romance novel in her hands or in her ears and is so happy to finally be sharing the ones she has in her head. \n\n\n\nRun\, don’t walk\, to WALK OF FAME: Readers of Carley Fortune\, Emily Henry\, and Annabel Monoghan will fall in love with this debut romance from Christina Capri! Equal parts sweet and sexy\, WALK OF FAME will grab you and not let go. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTurns out the whole “fake it til you make it” thing actually works in show business\, but what happens when you find yourself cast opposite Hollywood’s newest heartthrob? And faking it with your co-star starts to feel a little too real? \n\n\n\nEmma Watts has never had luck on her side. She works hard to keep her head above water\, but her life feels like Groundhog Day. So when she hears about a movie casting call\, she goes—desperate for something different in her life. When she lands an acting job on a fluke\, her lucky break snowballs until she finds herself cast alongside Jacob Morrow\, a newly minted Hollywood heartthrob who makes it impossible to see the line between their characters’ feelings and their own. \n\n\n\nJacob Morrow is as dreamy as the character he plays\, and he takes his costar Emma under his wing as he coaches her through acting\, shooting a series\, and\, gulp\, love scenes. As his character falls for Emma’s\, Jacob finds himself falling\, too. The more he has to act like he’s hopelessly in love\, the more he realizes that there just might be nothing fake about them. \n\n\n\nLearn more at www.christinacapri.com or her Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/christinacapri \n\n\n\nWhat readers are saying! \n\n\n\n“I binged 200 pages in one sitting because their chemistry was off the charts! I can’t wait for the second book!” \n\n\n\n“10/10 No Notes. I literally called out of work one day to finish it. An instant favorite!” \n\n\n\n“As a fan of authors like Carley Fortune\, Lucy Score\, and Ali Hazelwood\, I can confidently say that Christina Capri has earned a spot on my favorites list.”“Count me in for all future books by Christina Capri after this epic debut!”

SUMMARY:Meet the Author! Lindy Keane Carter Signing The Irish Visitor
DESCRIPTION:Let’s try again (and with better weather) — We’re looking forward to a really fun event with the author of The Rice Birds\, Lindy Keane Carter! Join us\, meet the author\, enjoy free treats\, and grab your signed copy of this brand new release! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSixty souls were staring down starvation on a war-torn South Carolina plantation…Then an outsider arrived. \n\n\n\nAs the Civil War ends\, two women—former enslaved house servant and plantation mistress—fight for control of a doomed South Carolina rice plantation. Each woman believes she owns the place\, and each has plans for her son to run it. One day\, a desperate Irish immigrant arrives with mysterious seeds hidden in her underskirt that she says will make a profitable crop. As natural disasters destroy all crops and hope\, she comes up with a bizarre money-making idea\, then another.  \n\n\n\nIn this tale that follows several characters from the author’s earlier novel\, THE RICE BIRDS\, the Irish visitor battles the headwinds of the post-war chaos. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLindy Keane Carter is a graduate of the University of Georgia’s Grady College of Journalism and Mass Communication. The Irish Visitor is her fourth published novel. Her last novel\, The Rice Birds\, was a huge hit at Main Street Reads!
