Author Event: Emily O'Malley Liu | WINE FOR ROSES

Join us at Bards Alley for an event with local debut author Emily O'Malley Liu as she discusses her upcoming romantic fantasy novella WINE FOR ROSES. This is a lushly written world featuring a queer, slow-burn romance and complex characters fighting to overcome a curse that has perforated an historic, Victorian residence and its occupants.

A book signing will follow the discussion and copies of Wine for Roses will be available for purchase at the event.

About the book:

They say the stolen rose blooms best.

When Ethan Keating Mendoza is hired as a gardener at an old Victorian residence in central Indiana, he has one clear mission: make the roses bloom. Ethan's life is roses--he's the son of a hedge witch and a partner in his father's rose growing business--but he has no magic himself.

The Kilbride estate is wild and overgrown. The roses have not bloomed in decades, and Ethan fears he may be in over his head. Worse still is Louis, the peculiar trustee of the property, who lives under a bloodthirsty curse that ties him to the garden. But Louis gives Ethan a chance, and Ethan is determined to do right by the suffering roses. As Ethan and Louis grow closer, Ethan becomes increasingly desperate to save the man he loves from the garden's curse.

But the garden isn't letting them go without a fight.
