Meet THE PUMPKIN SPICE CAFÉ author Laurie Gilmore in Austin, Texas to celebrate her newest paranormal small town romance, BIG BAD WOLF.⁠
⁠
Ruby Bellerose lives on the edge of the woods, in a cottage more akin to a fairy tale than modern day life. Her love life is practically non-existent, and she keeps away from the whispered gossip that travels through Maple Hollow... until a chance encounter with the mysterious, brooding woodsman Rafe.⁠
⁠
Laurie will be in conversation with THE WREN IN THE HOLLY LIBRARY author K.A. Linde at BookPeople on September 14th for an extra special event to kick off your fall reading. Find out more and get tickets while you still can at the 🔗link below!
