Join us to welcome back local authors Amanda Helander and Marissa Meyer for an evening in conversation celebrating Amanda's new YA book WAYWARD GODS and Marissa's recent graphic novel WE COULD BE MAGIC!

ABOUT THE BOOKS:
WAYWARD GODS:
Soothsayer Mona Arnett never even wanted a soulmate, and now she's been forced to marry the king, parting from the man she truly loves.
Worse, though Mona has delayed the prophesied end of the world, she hasn't prevented it. The gods have turned their backs, the castle is besieged by demons, and Mona is the only one who can seek help.
But who do you turn to when the world is ending and even the gods are powerless to stop it? To save all those she’s come to love, Mona may have to become even more powerful than the gods . . .

WE COULD BE MAGIC:
When Tabitha Laurie was growing up, a visit to Sommerland saved her belief in true love, even as her parents’ marriage was falling apart. Now she’s landed her dream job at the theme park’s prestigious summer program, where she can make magical memories for other kids, guests, and superfans just like her. All she has to do is audition for one of the coveted princess roles, and soon her dreams will come true.
There’s just one problem. The heroes and heroines at Sommerland are all, well… thin. And no matter how much Tabi lives for the magic, she simply doesn't fit the park's idea of a princess.
Given a not-so-regal position at a nacho food stand instead, Tabi is going to need the support of new friends, a new crush, and a whole lot of magic if she’s going to devise her own happily ever after. . . without getting herself fired in the process.
