October Author Talks

Book covers from October's authors (left to right): Bat Island by the Smithsonian, The Seventh Veil of Salome by Silvia Moreno-Garcia, and Maybe You Should Talk to Someone by Lori Gottlieb.

Join us for this month's online author talks where we’ll explore the remarkable world of bats, a sizzling period piece set in 1950s Hollywood, and the inner chambers of a therapist in therapy.

Each author talk offers the chance to submit questions for an author Q&A. If you can’t attend live, register anyways and you’ll receive a recording of the event!
