They say the moon controls the tides, so come discover the magic of moonlight as the Greensboro Public Library presents FANTASY! Young Adult (YA) Author Roundtable and Summer Reading Kickoff with authors Isabel Ibañez, Adrienne Young, Rebecca Ross, and editor and VP Eileen Rothschild.
Writers, have you ever considered publishing a YA book? You are also welcome to join us. Find out about the process, tips to get an agent, and trends in YA publishing. Author and North Carolina resident Isabel Ibañez is celebrating the May 31 release of her new book, Together We Burn. Eighteen-year-old Zarela Zalvidar is a talented flamenco dancer and daughter of the most famous Dragonador in Hispalia. People come for miles to see her father fight in their arena, which will one day be hers. Her stunning debut YA novel, Woven in Moonlight, became an instant best seller. Ibañez' s parents are from Bolivia, and she weaves a storied tapestry rich in Latin American and Andean myth, moonlight, magic and history.
She will be joined by fellow YA authors Adrienne Young, author of Fable, a fantasy novel set in a world made dangerous by the sea and by those who wish to profit from it, where a young girl must find her place. Also joining us is Rebecca Ross, author of A River Enchanted. In the novel, Jack Tamerlaine hasn’t stepped foot on Cadence in ten long years, content to study music at the mainland university. But when young girls start disappearing from the isle, Jack is summoned home to help find them. Vice President of the Wednesday Books (an imprint of St Martin's Press), Eileen Rothschild, will round out the panel discussion. We will celebrate new Young Adult genre fiction and kick off summer reading.
This program is free. In addition to being able to attend in-person, a Zoom link will be available. Books will be available for purchase and signing from all three authors. The book signing will follow the discussion. For more info, contact Beth Sheffield.
