About this Event

Join us at Bards Alley Bookshop for a discussion with local cartoonist, writer, and graphic novelist Sophia Glock. She will be discussing her journey in art and the publishing world, focusing on her most recent graphic novel BEFORE WE WAKE. This is an ethereal, paranormal romance that plays out between a waking life that feels muted and a world of lucid dreams that sparkles in full color.

Sophia Glock is also the author of PASSPORT, a graphic memoir that reveals her discovery as a teenager that her parents are agents working for the CIA.

Copies of both books will be available for purchase at the event, and Sophia will be signing books after her talk. Both books are considered young adult (YA) titles and are fantastic for adults and teens.


About BEFORE WE WAKE:

With the dreaminess of Lore Olympus and the magic of The Girl from the Sea, here is an ethereal, paranormal romance that plays out between a waking life that feels muted and a world of lucid dreams that sparkles in full color.
Haunted by a recurring dream, Alicia borrows a book about lucid dreaming, and soon learns to take control of her sleeping life. She welcomes the arrival of her best friend's boyfriend in her dreamworld, and soon sparks start to fly. But then he admits, when they are both awake, that he remembers everything that happened while they were asleep. Suddenly, Alicia’s dream life has become as complicated as her waking one.
In this electrifying graphic novel, Glock whisks readers on a head‑spinning romantic dream odyssey, exploring the ways in which we hold ourselves back—and what it will take to let our wildest dreams come true.
