Friday, October 4th – Book World Meets Wine World presents Sara Read and Katharine Schellman.
Sara Read will present her book, Principles of (E)Motion. Sara Read is an author, a nurse, a runner, and an unfiltered, tattooed GenX mom. She writes books about women living full lives and doing amazing things in spite of people that say they should stay small. Publishers Weekly praises Sara’s “skilled character building,” and Kirkus Reviews calls her latest novel, Principles of (E)motion, “entirely compelling.”
Katharine Schellman will present her book Last Call at the Nightingale Café. Though Katharine started her career in political consulting and stage performance, she has been writing stories for as long as she can remember. Her debut historical mystery, The Body in the Garden, a whodunnit set in Regency England featuring amateur sleuth Lily Adler, was named a Suspense Magazine Best Book of 2020. Her second series, the Nightingale Mysteries, is a Jazz Age drama full of grit, glamour, and a whole lot of grey area. The first book, Last Call at the
Nightingale, was a New York Times
editors’ pick in June 2022, a Library Journal Best Crime Fiction of 2022, and named one of the best mysteries of the summer by Publisher’s Weekly, Goodreads, Bustle, and more. Katharine graduated with a BA from the College of William & Mary in Virginia, moved to Philadelphia and the DC area, and now lives and writes in the mountains of Virginia.
This event will benefit the Literacy Council of Madison County.
Madison Arts Exchange will have books available for purchase.
