Author Event - Tarnish with Katy Longshore and "Spies and Prejudice" with Talia Vance
Avid Reader "Active", Saturday, June 22 at 4pm
Join us for the launch of two new Young Adult books by local authors! Both of these authors have presented earlier books at the store and we are excited to welcome them back!
Tarnish: Anne Boleyn is the odd girl out. Newly arrived to the court of King Henry VIII, everything about her seems wrong, from her clothes to her manners to her witty but sharp tongue. So when the dashing poet Thomas Wyatt offers to coach her on how to shine at court--and to convince the whole court they're lovers--she accepts. Before long, Anne's popularity has soared, and even the charismatic and irresistible king takes notice. More than popularity, Anne wants a voice--but she also wants love. What began as a game becomes high stakes as Anne finds herself forced to make an impossible choice between her heart's desire and the chance to make history.
Katherine Longshore is also the author of Gilt, a story of friendship and betrayal in Henry VIII's court. She lives in Northern California with three British citizens and one expatriate dog. You can find out more about her at her website.
Spies and Prejudice: "Pride & Prejudice" meets "Veronica Mars" in this slick romantic spy-thriller where nothing's as it seems.
Berry Fields is not looking for a boyfriend. She's busy trailing cheaters and liars in her job as a private investigator, collecting evidence of the affairs she's sure all men commit. And thanks to a pepper spray incident during an eighth grade game of spin the bottle, the guys at her school are not exactly lining up to date her, either.
So when arrogant--and gorgeous--Tanner Halston rolls into town and calls her "nothing amazing," it's no loss for Berry. She'll forget him in no time. She's more concerned with the questions surfacing about her mother's death.
But why does Tanner seem to pop up everywhere in her investigation, always getting in her way? Is he trying to stop her from discovering the truth, or protecting her from an unknown threat? And why can't Berry remember to hate him when he looks into her eyes?
With a playful nod to Jane Austen, Spies and Prejudice will captivate readers as love and espionage collide.
Talia Vance lives in Northern California and has worked as a horse trainer, a freelance writer, and an attorney. You can find out more about her and her books at her website.
