Steven Rowley & Byron Lane

What:

We are very excited to welcome Steven Rowley and Byron Lane to celebrate their books, The Guncle Abroad and Big Gay Wedding! They will appear in conversation with Blue Willow events Coordinator Cathy Berner and book reviewer and podcast host Cindy Burnett.

To celebrate, we are offering a 15% discount if you buy both of their books with your event entry!

There are THREE ticket options:

1. Event entry with BOTH books at a 15% discount on the book cost
2. Event entry with a copy of The Guncle Aboard ONLY
3. Event entry with a copy of Big Gay Wedding ONLY

Please note that one ticket=one seat for this event.

You will pick up your book(s) at the event.

When:

Tuesday, May 28, 2024 at 7:00 PM Central Time

Where:

St. Thomas Presbyterian Church, 14100 Memorial Drive, 77079

Event Guidelines:

Each ticket includes entry to the event for one person and whichever book option you have selected. Each attendee will require a ticket — think of it as one ticket, one chair.

You will pick up your book(s) at the event. Steven and Byron will personalize books and take photos during the signing line at the conclusion of the event. If you attend with a group, there will be a group photo rather than individual ones. You may also bring 2 of their books from home to be signed (but NOT personalized).

If you are not feeling well and cannot attend, we will get your book signed for you.

If you have a disability and require accommodation for this event, please let us know no later than 48 hours before the event by phoning (281) 497-8675 or emailing [email protected].

Blue Willow Bookshop expects all participants to maintain an atmosphere of respect and fairness. Any comments or questions that violate this standard of behavior including any form of harassment, may, at the discretion of the organizers, be immediately removed.
