R. K. Harrington - author signing

One bookish debutante. Two dashing suitors. And a season full of scandal.

Lady Alaina Sinclair never expected London society to be so treacherous-or so tempting. She has always preferred books to ballrooms, but with a disastrous start to her first season, she's determined to rewrite her fate. With her heart set on the respectable-and very eligible-Duke of Ashford, Alaina is ready to embrace society's expectations... even if it means silencing her true desires.

Alaina's world is set awry by Christopher Kendall, the Marquess of Rochester-sharp-tongued, maddeningly handsome, and inconveniently, the duke's closest friend. Their first encounter is a disaster. Their next, a temptation. And every moment together after that, increasingly impossible to ignore. But with a web of secrets, jealous relatives, and mysterious threats unraveling around her, it soon becomes clear: this is no ordinary season.

Kindred Schemes is a modern take on a regency romance with glamour, a steamy love triangle, and enough mystery to keep readers turning the page.

Between the Tropes Book Club

On the 2nd of every month, I will spin the tropes wheel on social media (think: enemies to lovers, one bed, second chance, forbidden love...) and you get to choose ANY book that fits the theme.

When we meet at the end of the month, we’ll share what we read, gush over our favorite moments, and hopefully discover a few new books for our TBR piles.

No pressure, no assigned reading — just great company, shared obsessions, and lots of swooning.

Brittany Stowe Author Signing

Title: Her Blood Belongs to Them

Series: the Servus Sanguinis series.

Book 2 in the series

Blurb:

Freedom came at too high a price.

When the spell to prove her innocence backfires, Adrianna wakes up in the hospital and is forced to face the truth that her mother is dead.

She’d gained liberation from the Rousseaus; yet, even that feels fleeting. Broderick Dietrich is protecting her, but how long can that last?

Revenge is on the horizon.

A summons arrives from the vampire Blood Consul. Adrianna and Broderick are on trial for murder. There’s a strong chance that the Rousseaus will try to reclaim custody of Adrianna.

If they succeed, she’s positive they will retaliate.

Unlikely allies intervene.

Adrianna’s already proven she’ll do almost anything for freedom. When new allies enter the fray, will she forgo her relationship with Broderick or stay true to him in the end?

Book #1

C.L. Blossom Release Party

Cherry Season

Coming June 2026

When twenty-five-year-old Ashton Tremblay steps up to run Tremblay Orchards after his father’s sudden heart attack, he expects long days and sore muscles—not the attention of the town’s newest enigmatic entrepreneur.

Troy Fischer, the tattooed owner of Black Cat Brewery, approaches Ashton with a proposal: partner up to create a hard cherry cider that celebrates both their crafts. But beneath Troy’s easy confidence and flirtatious charm, Ashton suspects there’s more than business behind the offer.

What starts as a professional partnership soon blurs into late nights at the brewery, the air thick with the scent of cherries and something impossible to ignore. As Ashton learns to navigate the pressures of family legacy, Troy must decide if he’s willing to let go of his bitter past and chase after something sweet.

This summer, passion is brewing—bold, bubbling, and dangerously intoxicating.

Molly Harper Author signing

Come meet Molly Harper and celebrate her newest book release with us!

She used to be the sidekick. Now she might be the only one who can survive.

As teens, Harlow Drake and Lainey Piper built an online fandom solving small-town crimes. Harlow was the star, Lainey the behind-the-scenes genius (and often, Harlow's scapegoat). Years later, Harlow's hosting a hit true crime tv show. Lainey? She's working in forensics. Well, forensic accounting . . . from home. In pajamas. With her cat.

But when Harlow faces significant backlash over fumbling a case, she needs a quick win--like a special investigation into the decades-old disappearance of a starlet from a once-glamorous, now decrepit island hotel. The catch? It's bankrolled by Deke and Bryce of DBag Games, who are looking to shed their "frat bro" reputations. As long-time fans, they have one requirement for their funding: Lainey has to play the sidekick again.

Lainey is wary, but the offer is a lifeline in a sea of unpaid student loans. After reaching the Crossings Hotel, she realizes she's not content to be Harlow's helper anymore. As the cold case heats up, a crew member falls over dead, presenting Harlow and Lainey with a more modern mystery: what secrets does this hotel hide within its walls?

With sabotage, hidden staircases, and a killer in their midst, Lainey steps into the spotlight and takes charge of the investigation. It's up to her to crack the case--as long as she can stay alive.

Troy D. Wymer - Author Signing

Pages & Grapes and The Written Alibi present Troy Wymer a local author.

Learn more about the author at WymerNovels - Atheneum of the Mind

About book one:

Sierra Shalinsky is the vocalist for the symphonic metal band Maranadda. She has a no-nonsense attitude, is a sexual freedom advocate, and a swinger in the Lifestyle. There is never a dull moment with her job as a Galactic Emergency Medical Technician, where she is always on call to help during galactic disasters.

When she responds to a distress signal from a frightened and seemingly delusional space traveler in the mysterious Shardaa Sector, an eerie feeling comes over her as she discovers odd feather symbols.

An emergency leads Sierra to victims of a terrorist attack at a thermal cube factory in the Industrial Sector.

In another emergency, she finds herself torn between her responsibilities as a Galactic Emergency Medical Technician and her duties as the vocalist for Maranadda.

She is there to help in more ways than one when the resort snow planet, Aamaress, is viciously attacked by the Xenolfan Government to disrupt the intermixed species tryst of forbidden sex.

Just when things are starting to go smooth for once and she gives her long awaited sexual freedom speech followed by a Maranadda concert on the band's home planet, she is confronted by a strange being and a familiar eeriness...
