Once Upon a Carnival is not just a dressed up book market - it's a real carnival!
Hosted by Not Your Average Book Club, it will have over 70 authors and bookish vendors embedded among performers, carnival games, sideshows, food trucks, and themed cocktails and drinks. This truly promises to be a night to remember!
I will be there with paperback and hardcover copies of The Gray Sheep as well as other Winding Clock inspired curios. I may even come in costume...
This is an 18+ event and will be ticketed. Follow Not Your Average Bookclub for updates and to hear when ticket sales go live!
