Philly Launch Party for Hannah Tate, Beyond Repair!
You know you want to come!
You guys, I’ve been in Thanksgiving bliss these last few days. Baking. Not working. Not writing. This time off has been nourishing to my soul!
Which is why I’ve finally summoned the energy to tell y’all all about the first of my book events for Hannah Tate, Beyond Repair and arguably the wildest—the Philly launch party. That’s right, folks. On Tuesday, February 13, 2024, the day my book baby springs forth into the wide world, I’ll be throwing a big ass launch party for Hannah Tate, Beyond Repair from 6:30-9:00ish at Kismet’s beautiful space, located at 12 W. Willow Grove Avenue in the Chestnut Hill neighborhood of my beloved (new) hometown, the Illadelph. My local indie bookstore, Big Blue Marble, will be supplying copies of Hannah Tate, Beyond Repair, along with some choice swag for all attendees.
You should come.
There’s going to be romcom trivia, wine, snacks, giveaways, a scene reading from the book, and me in conversation with the charming and hilarious YA romcom author and Literary Agent Hero, Eric Smith. There may be some wilder stuff, too, I’m awaiting inspiration for all we’ll get up to.
It’s gonna be a great time.
If you decide you can make it, please RSVP here:
There’s only a few rules:
1) You must be 18 or older to attend. Do not bring your children.
2) You must be ready for a good time.
There’s some guidelines, too:
1) You should laugh at all my jokes.
2) Perhaps wear some sequins. I certainly will be.
3) Preorder your book from Big Blue Marble. Even if you’ve already bought a copy elsewhere (you wonderful, supportive person, you!), consider buying a second copy from Big Blue Marble. They’re a great local indie, and I want them to have your money. Just a smidge of your money.
To preorder a copy of Hannah Tate, Beyond Repair from Big Blue Marble, it’s really rather quaint: call them at 215-844-1870 or email orders@bigbluemarblebooks.com. You’ll receive your copy of the book and some fun swag at the launch itself.
BUT IF YOU CANNOT MAKE IT TO THE PHILLY LAUNCH!!!!! Do not order from Big Blue Marble. Preorder from Eagle Eye Books, my ATL indie bookstore, instead. They can mail personalized, signed copies of Hannah Tate with swag both domestically and internationally, whereas Big Blue Marble isn’t set up for that.
If you aren’t local to Philly and can’t make the launch, perhaps you can attend one of my other events!
