SUMMARY:THE LIVE-IN TEMPTATION: Brighton Walsh in conversation with L.B. Dunbar
DESCRIPTION:Get ready for a love story with all the best tropes: single dad + nanny\, forced proximity\, forbidden romance\, men in uniform\, and of course\, grumpy + sunshine! “The Live-In Temptation” by local author Brighton Walsh has all this and so much more! \nJoin Brighton at Blue House Books on Wednesday\, September 3rd at 7 p.m.\, where she will be discussing the latest installment in the Starlight Cove series with fellow romance author L.B. Dunbar (the Lakeside Cottage series and the Road Trips & Romance series)\, answering questions from the audience\, and signing books! \nThis is a pre-release party\, so you’ll be able to purchase your book one day earlier than its release date. Come celebrate with this fabulous local author and grab a signed copy! \nThis event requires a $5 deposit\, check out the details and grab your ticket here: https://www.blue-house-books.com/events/3194320250903\n*NOTE that $5 can be used on any in-store transaction the night of the event only. \nAbout THE LIVE-IN TEMPTATION: \nHiring the chaotic woman I pulled out of a shed fire to be my daughter’s nanny was a bad idea. Letting her live with me? Even worse. \nChloe Bradshaw is too vibrant\, too bold\, and way too young for me. She’s pure sunshine-in-a-hurricane energy and the exact opposite of the calm\, steady influence my daughter needs. \nBut Emma adores her from the second they meet\, and I’d do anything for my little girl. Including sharing a roof with the one woman I shouldn’t want. \nChloe’s the walking definition of off-limits. And one hell of a temptation I can’t stop thinking about. \nBetween midnight snack run-ins\, hair-braiding lessons\, and the way she looks in my stolen hoodie\, forbidden stopped being a warning and started feeling like a dare. \nI swore I wouldn’t cross that line with her. Then I did. Again. And again. \nAnd now\, what we both insisted was only temporary is starting to feel like it could be real. Suddenly\, I’m not just her boss or her landlord. I’m the guy threatening to burn down anything that hurts her. \nBut the end date of our arrangement is looming\, and her suitcase is still half-packed. She says she’s not staying. I say she’s already mine. \nAbout BRIGHTON WALSH: \nAward-winning “USA Today” and “Wall Street Journal” bestselling author Brighton Walsh spent a decade as a professional photographer before taking her storytelling in a different direction and reconnecting with her first love—writing. She likes her books how she likes her tea—steamy and satisfying—and adores strong-willed heroines and the protective heroes who fall head over heels for them. \nBrighton lives in the Midwest with her real-life hero of a husband\, her two kids—both taller than her—and her dog who thinks she’s a queen. Her boy-filled house is the setting for dirty socks galore\, frequent dance parties (okay\, so it’s mostly her\, by herself\, while her children look on in horror)\, and more laughter than she thought possible. \nAbout L.B. DUNBAR: \nL.B. Dunbar loves sexy silver foxes\, second chances\, and small towns. If you enjoy older characters in your romance reads\, including a hero with a little silver in his scruff and a heroine rediscovering her worth\, then welcome to romance for those over 40. L.B. Dunbar’s signature works include women and men in their prime taking another turn at love and happily ever after. \nShe’s a “USA Today” Bestseller as well as #1 Bestseller on Amazon in Later in Life Romance with her Lakeside Cottage and Road Trips & Romance series. L.B. lives in Chicago with her own sexy silver fox.

SUMMARY:Meet & Greet with Ruchira Gupta
DESCRIPTION:“At once maddening and heartbreaking\, “The Freedom Seeker” shows young readers there is also hope…” — Alan Gratz\, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Refugee \n“”The Freedom Seeker” is a must-read social justice adventure to understand the struggles of migrant families. Ruchira Gupta opens hearts and minds\, inspiring young readers to find their own voice for change.” – Leymah Gbowee\, Nobel Peace Laureate \nJoin Ruchira Gupta at Blue House Books on Sunday\, September 7th\, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. for the release of her latest middle grade book\, “The Freedom Seeker”\, a powerful social justice adventure for young readers. \nRuchira will be chatting with excited readers and signing books\, so stop by anytime during the event to meet this inspiring activist\, journalist\, and author! \nAbout THE FREEDOM SEEKER: \nIn one girl’s relentless search for home and safety\, “The Freedom Seeker” takes readers on a daring journey of displacement and immigration. Illuminated by the kindness of strangers across continents and the strength of the human spirit\, renowned activist and award-winning documentarian Ruchira Gupta has written a powerful tale of resilience\, hope\, and the enduring strength of familial love. \nTwelve-year-old Simi Singh’s life in Northern India is filled with love\, family traditions\, and ordinary worries about hockey competitions\, school exams\, and avoiding the snide remarks of her class nemesis. But when a single rock carrying a note crash through their window during their Id celebration\, Simi’s life will shatter. \nHer Sikh father and Muslim mother’s interfaith marriage is becoming a target of violent vigilantes. Faced with rising threats\, they must make an impossible choice: stay and risk their lives\, or flee their homeland. Simi’s father is the first of them to make the journey to the U.S.\, but when their petition to be reunited in America is denied\, Simi and her mother are left with no choice but to attempt a perilous crossing through the Arizona desert with the help of a smuggler. \nThroughout her nail-biting journey towards safety and belonging\, Simi will face unthinkable danger— and when Simi and her mother are separated during the crossing\, each led to believe the other is dead\, she refuses to accept this fate. Alone in an unfamiliar and unforgiving land\, she must summon all her courage and resourcefulness to survive\, find her mother\, and reunite her shattered family. \nAbout RUCHIRA GUPTA: \nRuchira Gupta is an Emmy-winning journalist and founder of Apne Aap\, an anti-trafficking organization that supports women and girls in exiting systems of prostitution.

She has received honors including the French Ordre National du Mérite\, the Clinton Global Citizen Award\, and the UN NGO CSW Woman of Distinction Award. She holds an honorary doctorate from Smith College. \nRuchira has worked with the United Nations across Nepal\, Thailand\, Kosovo\, Iran\, and the United States\, and she teaches occasionally at NYU’s Center for Global Affairs.

SUMMARY:Meet & Greet with Silvia Acevedo
DESCRIPTION:Join Silvia Acevedo at Blue House Books on Saturday\, September 20th from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. for the release of her latest middle grade book\, “Mail-Order Monsters: Crash Course”\, a fantasy story that mixes humor with wise insights on friendship and forgiveness\, perfect for young readers! \nSilvia will be joined with her husband\, Jeff Miracola\, illustrator\, and will be chatting with customers and signing books\, so stop by anytime during the event to meet this fantastic Wisconsin author duo! \nAbout MAIL-ORDER MONSTERS: CRASH COURSE: \nWhat does a 10-year-old boy desperate for new friends do when he sees an ad for mail-order monsters in the back of a comic book? He orders them\, naturally. \nTen-year-old Marco Torres needs a new bestie. Or a few. He’s on the outs with his EX-best friend and needs someone to talk to\, confide in. So he takes a chance on an ad in the back of an old comic book promising something big: MAIL-ORDER MONSTERS. Marco hopes they’ll make amazing new besties and scare off his bully\, who in a mean twist of fate happens to be the twin of his crush. When the monsters arrive\, Marco unleashes their magic and draws the reaction he’d hoped for from his classmates—until the monsters’ hilarious\, uncontrolled escape through the school’s ceilings makes it nearly impossible to hide them from adults. And when Marco’s ex-bestie challenges him to a grudge match to finally settle their score\, it’s Marco’s monsters against an enemy robot in a race on remote control trucks through the neighborhood junk yard. But through it all\, Marco begins to wonder who should really be fighting his battles? And what exactly is he fighting for? \nAbout SILVIA ACEVEDO: \nSilvia Acevedo writes stories for kids and adults who want magic and mystery in their world. \nShe scared up wild monster hijinks in MAIL-ORDER MONSTERS: CRASH COURSE\, visited the ghost La Llorona in THE HAUNTED STATES OF AMERICA\, and barely escaped the wrath of Greek and Roman gods in her mythological GOD AWFUL series. She’s pleased that her works have garnered great reviews from trade publications\, prestigious awards from industry organizations\, and kind words from readers. \nSilvia also worked in New York publishing at Scholastic\, literary agency Writers House\, and the non-profit Inkluded Academy\, which champions diversity in publishing. She led the Wisconsin chapter of the Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators and served on the board of directors for the Wisconsin Writers Association. Before that\, she enjoyed 25+ years in broadcast news\, covering everything from presidential politics to state fair food-on-a-stick. \nFind her at SilviaAcevedo.com \nAbout JEFF MIRACOLO: \nJeff Miracola has been making fantasy art since 1993 for such cool projects as “Star Wars”\, “Mars Attacks”\, “Dungeons & Dragons”\, and “World of Warcraft”. He’s most known\, though\, for his 30+ years creating art for “Magic: The Gathering”. He’s also done conceptual toy and video game design\, editorial illustrations\, and picture books\, as well as activity books for Klutz/Scholastic. Jeff’s a sucker for animals\, so when he’s not creating art\, he’s feeding his many cats and befriending all the squirrels\, chipmunks\, and birds that swoop his way.
