SUMMARY:The Reader: A Witchy Book Fair for Adults
DESCRIPTION:It’s the best time of the year… time for Curious Iguana’s annual Witchy Book Fair for adults! \nOn Thursday\, October 29\, from 4:00-8:00pm\, come for a magical evening with Curious Iguana at Attaboy Barrel House\, where we will have a variety of spooky-themed books. Joining us will be authors Leslye Penelope (The Inevitable Undoing of Zahara Douglass)\, K.S. Shay (Portrait of a Witch Undone)\, Robert Plant (Dark Matter)\, and Melinda Beatty (What is a Pirate?); they will be signing and personalizing copies of their books throughout the evening. We’ll have a delicious food truck joining us to serve up some unique goodness\, and Attaboy will provide tempting potions till 9:00pm. Our friends from Oddbelle (formerly The Muse) will also be present to sell some fine witchy-themed wares\, and there will be a tarot card reader as well. \nParking: Park on-site or park at the East All Saints Street Parking Garage (125 E All Saints St\, Frederick\, MD) and enjoy a 7-8 minute stroll to the venue. \nAuthors: \nLeslye Penelope has been writing since she could hold a pen and loves getting lost in the worlds in her head. She is an award-winning author of fantasy and romance. Equally left and right-brained\, she studied filmmaking and computer science at Howard University and sometimes dreams in HTML. She hosts the My Imaginary Friends podcast\, co-hosts the Ink and Magic podcast\, and lives in Maryland with her feline dependents. \nK.S. Shay grew up in the part of northeastern Massachusetts where half the streets are named after people who were accused of witchcraft. She loves live music\, local gossip\, and getting outside. You can find her across social media @ksshaywrites and at ksshaywrites.com. \nRobert Plant is an author based in Maryland who writes emotionally driven fiction with a speculative twist. His novel\, Dark Matter\, is a chilling collection of short stories exploring technology\, mortality\, and the quiet terrors of modern life. When he’s not writing\, Robert enjoys playing hockey\, reading science fiction\, and exploring life’s darker corners with curiosity and heart. \nMelinda Beatty has had years of practice trying to explain to others why she was just having an imaginary conversation between two people that don’t exist\, so becoming a writer seemed like the best way to stop everyone from looking at her funny. After years of narrowboat living on the English canals\, she and her British husband are now back on dry land in Maryland\, where by day\, she’s a mild-mannered indie bookseller\, and by night\, she wrangles words\, crafts projects\, and raises a Labrador and two fierce miniwomen. \nVendors: \nOddbelle (formerly The Muse) is Frederick’s first handmade boutique\, specializing in jewelry\, art and more\, with a focus on local makers! To help you get in the spooky spirit\, they’ll be offering a unique selection of witchy soy candles\, spell jar necklaces\, art inspired by mythology and folklore\, handprinted t-shirts\, hand-sculpted ceramic ghosts and more! \nMy Tarot: Tarot card readings by Jamie Horrell. \nPlease note\, we are not accepting additional vendors or authors to this event due to space.
