Bookstore Romance Day at Flyleaf Books in Durham, NC
August 17, 2019 @ 5:00 PM - 8:00 PM
Free
Saturday, August 17th is Bookstore Romance Day. Local booksellers will be celebrating all things romance!
How are you spending the day? I’ll be at Flyleaf Books for the Bookstore Romance Day: A Panel & Social Event with Samantha Chase, Author Karen Booth, and Kianna Alexander. If you’re in North Carolina on August 17th from 5 – 8 PM, be sure to join us at Flyleaf Books. It’s one of my favorite local bookstores.
After the discussion, chat with the authors and booksellers. There will be champagne, fruit, and chocolate. Be sure to explore this wonderful, independent bookstore and discover what makes it so wonderful. If you purchase books by the authors, you can get them signed.
Like any good Southern belle, Kianna Alexander wears many hats: loving wife, doting mama, advice-dispensing sister, and gabbing girlfriend. She’s a voracious reader, an amateur seamstress and occasional painter in oils. Chocolate, American history, sweet tea and Idris Elba are a few of her favorite things. A native of the TarHeel state, Kianna still lives here with her husband, two kids, and a collection of well-loved vintage 80’s Barbie dolls.
Karen Booth is a Midwestern girl transplanted in the South, raised on ’80s music and repeated readings of Forever by Judy Blume. A married mom of two college-age kids, she is the author of more than 25 steamy contemporary romances, and has been a finalist for RT Magazine’s Series Romance of the Year, RT Magazine’s Gold Seal of Excellence, The Booksellers Best Award, and the National Excellence in Romance Fiction Award. Her books have been translated into seventeen languages.
Reese Ryan writes red hot romance with captivating family drama, surprising secrets, and a posse of deliciously-flawed characters. Past president of the Heart of Carolina Romance Writers, a panelist at the 2017 Los Angeles Times Festival of Books and recipient of the 2018 Donna Hill Breakout Author Award, Reese is an advocate for the romance genre and diversity in fiction. A Midwesterner with deep Southern roots, Reese currently resides in semi-small-town North Carolina where she’s an avid reader, a music junkie, and a self-declared connoisseur of cheesy grits.
Samantha Chase is a New York Times and USA Today bestseller of contemporary romance that’s hotter than sweet and sweeter than hot. She released her debut novel in 2011 and currently has more than sixty titles under her belt! When she’s not working on a new story, she spends her time reading romances, playing way too many games of Scrabble or Solitaire on Facebook, wearing a tiara while playing with her sassy pug Maylene…oh, and spending time with her husband of 28 years and their two sons in North Carolina.
