East Main Meeting Room
Jo Segura – Join USA Today bestselling Romance author, Jo Segura, for an afternoon reading, conversation, and a book signing. Her latest book, Temple of Swoon, was released on January 7th and immediately hit #44 on USA Today’s Bestseller list. Light bites and drinks are included.
Jo Segura lives in the Pacific Northwest with her beloved dog, who vies for her attention with his sweet puppy dog eyes whenever she’s trying to write. Her stories feature strong, passionate heroines and draw upon aspects of her life, such as her Mexican heritage and her fascination with archaeology. This inspiration led to her debut rom-com, Raiders of the Lost Heart. When she’s not writing you can find her practicing law, perusing the aisles at Trader Joe’s, or sitting outside doing Buzzfeed quizzes (though she doesn’t care what the chicken nugget quiz said–her favorite fruit is not banana).
