SUMMARY:Author Signing: Kira Brady\, Love & Pickleball
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Sunday May 3rd for a book signing by Kira Brady\, author of Love & Pickleball\, set in a neighborhood similar to Ballard! \nDescription of the book: \nForty and finally free\, Celeste Knowles is determined to be true to herself…If only she knew who that was. When she’s forced to attend her ex’s lavish wedding\, Celeste decides it’s the perfect time to move on—in the banquet hall closet\, no less. \nBut after panicking and running out on her mustachioed stranger\, Celeste realizes she needs to start smaller. Maybe pick up an old hobby. Work up to the wild sex with strangers. \nHayden Holstrom\, her new pickleball coach\, is infuriatingly charming\, distractingly handsome—and young—and his easy smile feels suspiciously familiar. \nBut Hayden has secrets of his own. He’s falling hard for the shy\, crossword-loving divorcee\, and he’s desperate for a chance to prove their connection is more than a fleeting memory. Can he convince Celeste to risk her heart again\, especially when the odds are against them? \nThe ball is in her court…

SUMMARY:Author Signing: ES Brandon
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Saturday May 9rd for a book signing by authors E.S. Brandon. \nE.S. Brandon is the pen name of married writing team Elizabeth and Stephen Brandon\, who bring their love of science fiction\, fantasy\, and romance to every page. With over twenty years together\, they write characters with authentic intimacy and emotional depth\, believing the greatest adventures are the ones that stir the heart. \nTheir writing journey began over late-night chats about favorite romantasy novels\, which soon sparked a shared passion for crafting their own tales of love set against the extraordinary. From interstellar adventures to magical realms\, their stories explore the fight to save worlds and the courage it takes to risk everything. \nWhen not writing\, Elizabeth and Stephen can be found hiking the beautiful trails of the Pacific Northwest or deep in their next book club pick. Storytelling is more than their craft\, it’s the foundation of the worlds they build together. \nDescription one of their books: \nThe Amaranthine Sea\, Book One \nSalt & Surrender \nIn 1720\, the Caribbean belongs to women and monsters. \nCaptain Eleanor “Nell” Blackwood of the Royal Navy lives for duty\, clean lines on a map\, and a ship that runs like clockwork. Her vessel is her pride\, her uniform a shield for the heart she keeps locked away. But when a brutal clash leaves her ship broken and her crew scattered\, she wakes bound on the deck of a French privateer\, staring up into the cold smile of its captain. \nMarguerite “Marin” Devereaux has earned every whispered legend about La Sirène Noire. Clever\, merciless\, and beautiful in a way that feels like a warning\, she should ransom the English captain or throw her overboard. Instead\, she keeps Nell close where she can watch her\, in a cabin with only one bed and nowhere to run. \nTempers flare. Hands stray where they shouldn’t. But when the Turned trap them on a fog-shrouded island\, Nell and Marin must trust the one woman they most want to hate\, and can’t stop wanting. \nStorms are gathering. The Admiralty is hunting. On a sea that demands blood for every choice\, one question remains: \nWhat will they surrender first—their duty\, or their hearts?
