We're getting ready for our June signing event! Join us Saturday, June 27th from 1-4pm as we welcome Renee Coloman, Ove Garcia-Petrushevich, and Amanda Skenandore.

Read on to learn a little more about them and their books!

Renee Coloman is the award-winning author of Born of Dirt & Dust and Roxy's Not My Girl, two short-story collections of genre-bending speculative fiction. Her work has appeared in literary publications in the US and internationally. Renee continues to write short stories while also in the process of completing two full-length manuscripts: a coming-of-age thriller and a middle-grade adventure story. Renee works full-time in communications for an international franchising organization.

Ovelinda Garcia is an East Coast native with a lifelong passion for storytelling across stage, screen, and page. Her debut novelette, 'Truth, Dreams and The Everythings-In-Between: A Story of Love, Loss and Legacy' sits at the intersection of romance, history, and social truth. It also draws from personal heritage, historical research, and a cinematic imagination.

Amanda Skenandore is an award-winning author of historical fiction. Her books have been translated into multiple languages and garnered accolades from the American Library Association, Reader’s Digest, Silicon Valley Reads, and Apple Books. In 2024, she was awarded the Nevada Arts Council Literary Fellowship. Her writing explores lesser-known corners of history and, drawing on her 16 years as a registered nurse, often includes themes of medicine, justice, and belonging. Amanda lives in Las Vegas with her husband and their pet turtle, Lenore.

We look forward to seeing everyone there!

A very special thank you to our poet, Aimee Noel, for coming down. The stories, narratives and anecdotes that acted as the basis for your poetry were fascinating and it was a real joy to listen. If you did miss this event, we do have signed copies available for sale!
