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.
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).

Dan Gemeinhart – #1 NYT Bestselling author of The Remarkable Journey of Coyote Sunrise, Midnight Children, The Honest Truth, as well as several other novels and picture books for young readers. A former teacher-librarian, Dan lives in a small town in north-central Washington with his wife and three daughters. Born in Frankfurt, Germany, Dan went to a different school almost every year because his dad was in the Army. After high school and college in Washington State, he wrote for TEN YEARS before finally getting his first book published – Dan didn’t believe in giving up and doesn't think that we should, either.
Join Dan and us for a keynote message from his books about not giving up, believing in yourself, and following your dreams. Keynote will be followed by a Q&A plus a Mini Workshop where he’ll guide you through brainstorming and building your own characters, with time for writing exercises.
As a wrap, get your books signed, purchase new books, and chat with Dan up close.
This session is best suited for ages 10+, but it’s open to all ages. Parents and guardians are welcome to come and participate, too.
Popcorn, juice pouches and water provided.
