Save the date for Afterword at Friendly City Books on August 26! We’re bringing authors and books from the Mississippi Book Festival in Jackson next week to Columbus the following Saturday to keep the party going.

All day long we’ll have sales on books from the festival, signings and talks with featured authors, and a silent auction of special editions. We’re also going to raffle off a $20 gift card to a lucky member of the audience at every author appearance!

We’re excited to welcome Mississippi writers Sarah Frances Hardy, Christie Collins, and Ellen Ann Fentress. Watch this space for more details and announcements!
