I am so lucky to live near the independent bookstore, Flyleaf Books, in Chapel Hill. They have wonderful, intimate author events. I always enjoy hearing authors speak on their writing processes and their journeys to publication. One of the first events I went to last year was for the release of local author Renee Ahdieh’s debut of The Wrath & the Dawn. She was there again this past week with Emery Lord to celebrate the release of Lord’s When We Collide and her own paperback release of TW&TD.
