Jan. 27: An Evening of Cocktails and Dark Fantasy with AC Wise (and me)

I can’t wait to celebrate the launch of AC Wise’s new novel, Ballad of the Bone Road. 

Sultry Hollywood glamour and dark fae treachery collide in the latest novel of mystery, horror, and magic from A. C. Wise. In Ballad of the Bone Road, two paranormal investigators work to clear the glittering city of Port Astor of ghosts and demons, but they’ve both got secret baggage: Belleweather shares her body with a demon and Brix has trapped his fiance’s ghost in his home.

Join us for conversation and cocktails on January 27, 6:30 pm, at Main Point Books in Wayne, PA!

This event is free; RSVPS are requested via Eventbrite. Books may be purchased in advanced through Eventbrite or the store’s website, and signed copies may be purchased to mail within the U.S.
