Kim Harrison

The only girl in a large family of boys, former tomboy Kim Harrison invented the first Brigadier General Barbie in self-defense. She shoots a very bad game of pool and rolls a very good game of dice. When not at her keyboard, she enjoys lounging on the couch with a bowl of popcorn watching action movies with The-Guy-In-The-Leather-Jacket. She plays her Ashiko drum when no one is listening, and is hard to find when the moon is new.

Jeaniene Frost is the New York Times, USA Today, and international bestselling author of the Night Huntress series and the Night Huntress World novels. To date, foreign rights for her novels have sold to nineteen different countries. Jeaniene lives in North Carolina with her husband Matthew, who long ago accepted that she rarely cooks and always sleeps in on the weekends. Aside from writing, Jeaniene enjoys reading, poetry, watching movies with her husband, exploring old cemeteries, spelunking and traveling – by car. Airplanes, children, and cook books frighten her.

Though she'll always consider that glittering dust bowl home, she now divides her time between Las Vegas and Dallas, where she's learning to like good Tex-Mex (easy) and the Dallas Cowboys (easier than you'd think).

When New York Times bestselling author Pamela Palmer's initial career goal of captaining starships didn't pan out, she turned to engineering, satisfying her desire for adventure with books and daydreams, until finally succumbing to the need to create worlds of her own. Pamela lives and writes in the suburbs of Washington, D.C.

Eastwood It is so excellent to welcome NYT-Bestselling Michigan author Kim Harrison back to Schuler to finish the tour for the eleventh book in the Rachel Morgan series, Ever After! There’s nothing more darkly satisfying than time spent in the Hallows—Harrison’s alternate urban fantasy Cincinnati where vampires, pixies, and werewolves roam free. The newest installment revolves around the ever-after, a demonic realm that parallels our own. The realm is shrinking, and if it disappears, so does all magic. It's up to witch-turned-daywalking-demon Rachel Morgan to fix the ever-after before the fragile balance between magic users and humans falls apart.

This will be a ticketed event, with tickets available at our Eastwood Towne Center location when the store opens on Friday, January 25th. The first 100 tickets are available free with purchase of Ever After (one ticket per book purchased) and guarantee a seat at the event. Tickets 101 and greater are free with no purchase necessary. The signing will proceed after the author talk in approximate ticket number order. Tickets may be reserved in person or by calling the store at 517.316.7495. (If the book is purchased prior to January 25th, you may show your receipt to secure a seated ticket.)

'At være teenager er det værste, man nogensinde kommer ud for!' Stand-up-komiker og forfatter Sanne Søndergaard fortæller ærligt og underholdende om de ulidelige teenageår. v/ Sanne Søndergaard.

Om ensomhed og angst, om liderlighed og fortvivelse, om hvorfor det er så svært at tage livet alvorligt, når det bare føles helt til grin. Og hvorfor der er så meget, de voksne ikke forstår.

"Formentlig er det fordi, de selv har glemt, hvordan det var," siger Sanne Søndergaard: "Du finder ikke noget om tuttenuttede førstegangsforelskelser og hvad-vil-du-være-når-du-bliver-stor-emner hos mig."

I stedet sætter Sanne Søndergaard fokus på, hvor fucked up det hele er, på det sociale spil i ungdomsårene; klikedannelse, mobning og ensomhed. Og på de helt normale, alt for store, alt for mange følelser, som man slet ikke kan styre.

"De fleste teenagere tror, at det kun er dem, som indimellem føler sig forkerte. Jeg viser dem, at alle er i samme båd - selv de voksne," siger Sanne Søndergaard: "For at være teenager handler kort sagt om at føle sig helt forkert, selvom man faktisk er helt normal."

Foredraget har trukket fyldte sale over hele landet, og teenagere har sammen med deres forældre grinet sig igennem beskrivelserne af teenageårene, ikke mindst hvorfor mor og far bare ikke kan fatte, at de skal banke på døren ind til teenageværelset.

Sanne Søndergaard har medvirket i bl.a. Stand-up.dk, Comedy Fight Club og senest i Quiz i en hornlygte på DR2. Hun er desuden forfatter til de anmelderroste romaner Kære Dødsbog, Proforma og Hell man.

New York Times bestselling author Kim Harrison returns to the sexy, supernatural adventures of Rachel Morgan with the eleventh book in the Hollows series Ever After.

The ever-after, the demonic realm that parallels our own, is shrinking, and if it disappears, so does all magic. It's up to witch-turned-daywalking-demon Rachel Morgan to fix the ever-after before the fragile balance between magic users and humans falls apart.

Of course, there's also the small fact that Rachel is the one who caused the ley line to rip in the first place, and her life is forfeit unless she can fix it. Not to mention the most powerful demon in the ever-after—the soul-eater Ku'Sox Sha-Ku'ru—has vowed to destroy her, and has kidnapped her friend and her goddaughter as leverage. If Rachel doesn't give herself up, they will die.

Forced by circumstance, Rachel teams up with elven tycoon Trent Kalamack—a partnership fraught with dangers of the heart as well as betrayal of the soul—to return to the ever-after and rescue those she loves. One world teeters on the brink of interspecies war, the other on the brink of its very demise—and it's up to Rachel to keep them both from being destroyed.

Kim Harrison, dark urban fantasy author of the New York Times best selling A Perfect Blood, was born and raised in the upper Midwest. After gaining her bachelors in the sciences, she moved to South Carolina, where she remained until recently returning to Michigan because she missed the snow. She's currently developing what comes after the Hollows between working on the Hollows books and a Hollows-based graphic novel. Kim is a member of The Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America. When not at her desk, she's most likely to be found landscaping her new/old Victorian home.
