Join us for Friends & Fiction LIVE in Charleston on May 1, 2023!

On Monday, May 1st, The Charleston Place & Buxton Books Literary Series are thrilled to host a very special pre-publication launch event honoring New York Times bestselling author Patti Callahan Henry and her new book THE SECRET BOOK OF FLORA LEA!

Purchase your event tickets here and order your

copy of The Secret Book of Flora Lea!

This is your chance to meet all four of the founders and hosts of the popular web show and podcast, Friends & Fiction — the New York Times bestselling authors Patti Callahan Henry, Mary Kay Andrews, Kristin Harmel, and Kristy Woodson Harvey — as they gather in-person together for this super special Friends & Fiction LIVE event celebrating the launch of Patti’s THE SECRET BOOK OF FLORA LEA in grand style. Mary Kay, Kristin and Kristy will interview Patti live on-stage at the Riviera Theater about her new book, THE SECRET BOOK OF FLORA LEA. The “Fab Four” will also speak about their books (and all sorts of other topics!), answer live questions from the audience, sign & personalize books, mingle, and take photographs with attendees. As anyone who has tuned into their live web show and podcast can attest, spending time with this group of women feels like being at a party with friends. A good time and lots of laughs are guaranteed. This is a pre-publication launch event. THE SECRET BOOK OF FLORA LEA officially releases on Tuesday, May 2, but Patti and her best author pals are going to celebrate with us — and you — a day early! When you attend this event, you’ll be among the first people to get your hands on a copy of this beautiful new book. Gather up your besties, your book club, your co-workers, your family, and your neighbors. Come one, come all. And get ready for a super awesome night in the beautiful city of Charleston. Get your summer reading kicked off early at this can’t-miss event. It promises to be a spectacular night, so get your tickets before they sell out! Check out all the VIP add on events, as well.
