Fierce Reads Tour with Anna Banks, Leigh Bardugo, Jessica Brody, Emmy Laybourne, and Gennifer Albin -- Gables Anna Banks grew up in a small town called Niceville (yes, really). She now lives in Crestview, Florida, with her husband and their daughter. Anna’s first novel, Of Poseidon, was a Macmillan Fierce Reads title, and the follow up -- Of Triton -- infuses Emma and Galen’s points of view humor, intrigue, and waves of romance. Leigh Bardugo was born in Jerusalem, gew up in Los Angeles, and graduated from Yale University.

Jessica Brody is the author of 52 Reasons to Hate My Father, My Life Undecided, and The Karma Club. Sometimes she wishes her memories could be erased so she could reread all her favorite books for the first time. Unremembered is a compelling and suspenseful new sci-fi series, set in a world where science knows no boundaries, memories are manipulated, and true love can never be forgotten. Emmy Laybourne is a novelist, teacher, and former character actress. Before her life as an author, Emmy performed original comedy on Comedy Central, MTV, and VH1; and acted in the movies Superstar, The In-Laws, and Nancy Drew, among others. Nowadays, Emmy loves working on the Monument 14 trilogy, and lives outside New York City with her husband, two kids, and a flock of six nifty chickens.

Anna Banks, author of Of Triton In this sequel to Of Poseidon, Emma has learned that her mother is a Poseidon princess, and now struggles with an identity crisis: as a Half-Breed, she’s a freak in the human world and an abomination in the Syrena realm. Her mother’s reappearance turns the Poseidon and Triton Kingdoms against one another. Should Emma keep herself safe, or should she risk it all to save a people she’s never known?
Leigh Bardugo, author of Siege & Storm In this sequel to Shadow & Bone, Alina must try to make a life with Mal in an unfamiliar land, all while keeping her identity a secret. But when the Darkling emerges with a terrifying new power, Alina returns to the country she abandoned. She must choose between her country, her power, and the love she always thought would guide her—or risk losing everything to the oncoming storm.
Jessica Brody, author of Unremembered When Flight 121 went down, no one expected to find a live girl among the wreckage. Even more strange is that her body is unharmed and she has no memories. Crippled by a world she doesn’t know and haunted by a threat she can’t remember, Seraphina struggles to piece together her past. Her only hope is a boy who claims to know her. But can she trust him? And can he protect her from those who’ve made her forget?
Emmy Laybourne, author of Monument 14: Sky on Fire Trapped in a store by a series of disasters, Dean and Alex worked together with 12 other kids to build a refuge in Monument 14. In this sequel, Dean stays in the store with Astrid and the younger kids, and Alex heads out into the devastation with Niko and some others. If they can get to the airport, they might be evacuated to safety. But the outside world is much worse than they expected.
This is a FREE teen event, open to all!

From exciting debut novels to highly anticipated sequels, these authors show off the paranormal, the horror, the humor, the future, the action, and the not-so-ordinary lives of their heroes and heroines. Lish McBride presents Necromancing the Stone, the sequel to her quirky urban fantasy, Hold Me Closer, Necromancer, further unveiling the life of up-and-coming necromancer Sam LaCroix. Ann Aguirre ramps up the action and horror with Outpost, the sequel to Enclave, set in a post-apocalyptic future in which most of civilization has migrated to underground enclaves. In alternating chapters, Elizabeth Fama tells the story of the mermaid Syrenka's love in 1872 that leads to a series of horrific murders, and present-day Hester's encounter with a ghost that reveals her connection to the murders and to Syrenka in Monstrous Beauty. Humans and androids crowd the raucous streets of New Beijing as a deadly plague ravages the population in Marissa Meyer's twisted Cinderella tale, Cinder, wherein humanity's fate hinges on one cyborg girl, a gifted mechanic. Jessica Brody hilariously shows how America's favorite heiress Lexi finds 52 Reasons to Hate My Father when her ever-absent, tycoon father decides to take a more proactive approach to her wayward life, assigning her a different low-wage job every week for the next year in order to get her trust fund. There's a Fierce Read for everyone at this event! Location: Street: Ethical Society of St. Louis Additional: 9001 Clayton Rd. City: Saint Louis, Province: Missouri Postal Code: 63117 Country: United States (added from IndieBound)… (more)Fierce Reads Tour in San Diego Mysterious Galaxy is proud to welcome the Fierce Reads author tour to San Diego. School’s out for summer, so what better time for a visit from a troupe of young adult debut authors with Fierce Reads? Kate and Bunny are particular fans of Marissa Meyer’s Cinder, a Cinderella story with “cyborgs, lunars, deadly plagues and threatening war.” (See Bunny’s review here.)
Anna Banks’s Of Poseidon is a novel about a teenage girl who learns she has the gift Of Poseidon and can communicate with fish—and gorgeous mermen – perfect for a coastal city like San Diego.
See Maryelizabeth’s review here of make-up artist and author Leigh Bardugo’s Shadow and Bone, a dark fantasy with elements of Russian mythology.
Jennifer Bosworth’s Struck includes an earthquake-devastated Los Angeles, doomsday cults, a teenage lightning addict, the importance of individuality, and the end of the world.
With four novels to her name, and a fifth, 52 Reason to Hate My Father, on the way, Jessica Brody is the voice of experience in the group. Her novels for teens are The Karma Club, and My Life Undecided, which deal with the difficulties of life sans paranormal elements.
Monument 14 received a starred review from Publishers Weekly, stating, “Actress/screenwriter Emmy Laybourne’s debut ably turns what could have been yet another postapocalyptic YA novel into a tense, claustrophobic, and fast-paced thriller.”
More information about the Fierce Reads authors may be found on their Facebook page here.
And their very short musical book trailer is here.
Leigh Bardugo is also signing in Redondo Beach on June 28th.
