Come and celebrate the launch of Nowhere with Jon Claytor and special guests Ian Roy, Diana Tamblyn, Jill Bennett, and Misha Bower!
Join us at Little Wren Books for an evening of reading, music, and fantastic conversation. This event is free and open to the public. Doors open at 6:30 pm.
A hilarious and sinister reflection on growing up in a world where monsters are real, Nowhere is a dreamlike meditation on adolescence and the absurdity of small-town life.
