FOR TEENS -- Breathless Reads Tour -- Gables

Start: Feb 13 2013 7:00 pm

Not one, not two, but FIVE incredible Y/A authors all at once in conversation at our Goral Gables store. Just in time for Valentine’s Day, this event is guaranteed to leave you breathless.

*Beth Revis, a former teacher, lives in North Carolina with her husband and dog, and believes space is nowhere near the final frontier. Shades of Earth (Razorbill; $18.99) is the final book in the New York Times bestselling Across the Universe series.

*Fiona Paul makes her writing debut with Venom (Philomel; $17.99). She is a writer, wanderer, and free spirit, with degrees in psychology and secondary education. She’s traveled all over the world, and many of the scenes in VENOM are inspired by real-life experiences (though she won’t tell you which ones). She now makes her home in St. Louis, Missouri.

*Morgan Rhodes lives in Ontario, Canada. Along with writing, Morgan enjoys photography, travel, and reality TV, and is an extremely picky yet voracious reader of all kinds of books. Under another pen name, she’s a national bestselling author of many paranormal novels. Falling Kingdoms (Razorbill; $18.99) is her first high fantasy.

*Elizabeth Richards is an award-winning journalist, who spent her early career reviewing videogames before making the bold (or crazy) move into travel writing. In her spare time, she ran a successful lifestyle website aimed at teenage girls, where she got to interview many of her favorite bands, go to gigs and basically blag loads of free swag all in the name of ‘research’. Elizabeth lives in Buckinghamshire, England, with her husband. Black City (Putnam; $17.99) is her debut novel.

*Jessica Spotswood grew up in a tiny one-stoplight town in Pennsylvania. Now she lives in a gentrifying hipster neighborhood in Washington, D.C. with her playwright husband and a cuddly cat named Monkey. She's never happier than when she's immersed in a good story, and swoony kissing scenes are her favorite. Born Wicked (Putnam; $17.99) is her debut novel.
