Meet & Greet with Lori Brand
2024-12-14 12:00 - 15:00 | Blue House Books, 5915 6th Avenue A, Kenosha, WI, 53142, United States
“Bodies to Die For” is a brilliant psychological thriller that will have readers wondering whether the perfect body really is worth dying for. Debut author Lori Brand will be at Blue House Books on Saturday, December 14th from Noon to 3 p.m. to sign books and chat with readers about her novel “Bodies to Die For”, perfect for fans of “You Shouldn’t Have Come Here” and “None of This Is True”. Don’t forget, signed books make great gifts for the holidays! ABOUT THE BOOK Popular fitness influencer Gemma has transformed herself from a Before into an After, complete with washboard abs, thriving business, and a gorgeous husband. But social media can be deceiving. Offline, the cutthroat world of bikini bodybuilding may just eat her alive. That’s if she’s not first devoured by the secret nemesis that lurks beneath her polished surface, waiting to destroy her. Software engineer Ashley is fat and frustrated. Frustrated with failed diets. With a world that wants her to shrink. With biased doctors, online trolls, and even her own mother. Until Ashley falls in with a mysterious and radical sect of Fat Activists who are fighting back … by any means necessary. She’s never felt so alive, so full of purpose. She’ll do whatever it takes to ride this high, destroy Diet Culture, and win the approval of her charismatic leader. Gemma and Ashley are on a collision course headed for the Olympia, the bodybuilding competition where futures are made. And lost. When Gemma’s toughest rival turns up dead, and more fitness girls fall like dominoes, it’s beginning to look like the body image war has gone too far. With breakneck pace and keen insights, “Bodies to Die For” takes a hard look at social media, the $70 billion diet industry, and the war on women’s bodies—the wars we wage with each other, and with ourselves. ABOUT THE AUTHOR Lori Brand is a lifting enthusiast, group fitness instructor, yoga teacher, and software quality engineer. In past lives, she’s been a gymnast, dancer, Playboy model, and bodybuilder. Her time in the body wars trenches led to her realization that getting strong, rather than shrinking, is the way out. In an effort to spread the word, she’s had articles published in “STRONG” Fitness Magazine, “T-Nation”, “Inside” Fitness Magazine, “D’FYNE” Fitness Magazine, and more. “Bodies to Die For” is her first novel.
