Join us for our monthly wine tasting and meet romcom author Claire Gilmore with her new book, The Perfect Fit!

A hilarious and heartfelt rom-com about having it all, slowing down to see the big picture, and finding out that the person you least expect could be your perfect fit. Josephine Davis has spent her entire twenties building Revenant: a fashion brand headquartered in downtown Austin. When her biggest investor orders Josie to hire a consultant, the last person she expects to be working with is Will Grant – the twin brother of Josie’s ex best friend. Sure, Will and Josie may have shared one mistake of a kiss during senior spring break nine years ago, but they’ve never been friends. She remembers him as moody; he always thought of her as shallow. Romance isn’t on the table for either of them until they blink, and realize there’s a reason they can’t stay away from each other. But there’s Will’s sister to consider – whom Josie hasn’t spoken with since their falling out – not to mention, Will and Josie live seventeen hundred miles apart. And it’s not like she has time for a boyfriend anyway when she’s an overworked CEO. As Josie’s burnout looms while she falls deeper and harder for Will, she contends with the fact that eventually, she’ll have to make a choice: stay alone to be productive, or slow down to be in love.

Clare Gilmore lives in Charlotte, North Carolina with her fiancé and a rambunctious dog. She spends her moonlight hours cooking excessively elaborate meals and planning more vacations than she’ll ever be able to take.

For readers of Madeline Martin and Beatriz Williams, this sweeping story follows a fearless nurse who must leave love behind when duty calls her back to the front.

“Noelle Salazar has an unerring instinct for writing tough women with big hearts. Flight nurse Kate Campbell has learned well from her hospital tour in the Pacific: keep your emotions locked down, your mind on your patients, and leave everything else behind as soon as the combat plane leaves the ground. But an injury sends her back stateside and then to the thick of the European front, where a blue-eyed soldier tempts her with promise of a softer future—if a deadly secret from Kate’s carefully-hidden past doesn’t destroy everything first. THE LIES WE LEAVE BEHIND is a globe-spanning wartime journey filled with pathos and heart!” ?—Kate Quinn, New York Times bestselling author of The Rose Code

Join poets Gil Allen, John Lane, Cathy Smith Bowers, and Rick Mulkey in conversation with Tom Mack to discuss the new poetry anthology, Southern Voices! This is a free event.

From the editors of the innovative composite anthology A Shared Voice (INDIEFAB and Spur Award Finalist, 2013) comes this unique anthology of works by Southern poets. The poems in this exciting volume crisscross the Greater American South from Virginia to the Ozarks, from the Texas hill country to the Florida coast. Writing in a variety of forms and on an amazing array of subjects, the fifty master-poets in Southern Voices explore all the corners of this gradually evolving region along with its flora, fauna, cultural idiosyncrasies, and distinctive cuisines.

One year after a devastating hurricane, bride-to-be Ruth Bancroft is marrying her perfect groom in a quaint fishing village on the Gulf Coast. The weekend is carefully curated, with the displays of pomp and social media magic meant to promote an area still struggling to rebuild as well as bring Ruth’s estranged family back together.

Yet as good intentions often go, this road to wed is hell and paved in complications. With tensions rising between the family and the bridal party, long-buried secrets come to light, and accusations start flying. Things officially spiral out of control when the oceanfront rehearsal dinner is rocked by a series of gunshots, and a high-profile guest goes missing. As the investigation gets underway, it turns out that everyone has something to hide.

Big Little Lies meets The Guest List in this gripping page turner that asks the big questions about messy family liaisons, modern media, and the lies we tell the world.

Stop by M. Judson to meet pop up author Macy Cochran and hear about her new novel, The Button Collector!

When Chicago journalist Jessica Knight is linked to a string of odd murders happening across the country, her life takes a turn for the worse.

She is left wondering why her relatives are the ones dropping like flies under the signature mark of a serial killer . . . why she can’t stop thinking about Michael Bradley, the appealing detective assigned to protect her . . . and most of all, why, despite being the Button Collector’s prime target, she’s still alive at all.

One thing she knows for certain: the killer is always watching.

As the line between truth and deception begins to blur, Jessica crumbles under the dense web of lies she’s trying to keep straight––especially once the police start questioning more than just her sanity. With pressure mounting, Jessica must navigate being under the watchful eye of the police––and the killer––while risking it all in a dangerous game to make up for the mistakes of her past.

Her days are numbered…one way or the other.

Stop by M. Judson for a free pop up with local author Arthur McMaster for his new book, In the Orchards of Our Mothers!

Paris has never been hotter for one wartime romance between two undercover operatives, until both their lives are at risk. In the final two years of the war in Europe, French Resistance fighter Jacques Berlangier and his determined, American OSS partner Claire Skiffington struggle to survive a series of hazardous assignments in support of Allied operations. In the war’s immediate aftermath, in love and together in Paris, they return to his family’s apple farm business in the Breton countryside. There, residual and unforeseen trouble rivals the dangers they thought were well past. Revenge, murderous alliances, and heroic efforts from unexpected sources propel the action.

Arthur McMaster worked in the American intelligence and special operations community for nearly 30 years. Much of his career was spent in Europe, working with NATO partners. Retiring from government service he returned to university to earn an MFA in creative writing and taught writing and literature courses for several years. He and his wife Sue live in Greenville, SC.
