Welcome to O.Henry magazine’s special “Kickoff to Summer Reading” edition of our Author Series. We’re hosting two book release parties — May 4 and June 2 — to get you ready for plopping your chair on a sandy shore. 

Dive into the perfect beach read with fellow book lovers as O.Henry magazine proudly hosts the launch of the latest novel from North Carolina’s own Kristy Woodson Harvey, The New York Times-bestselling author of a dozen books. Enjoy two of our favorite things — books and bites — as Kristy gets us into a Summer State of Mind while you nosh in style on heavy hors d’ouevres crafted by Grandover Resort’s creative chef and inspired by the book, of course! By attending this event, you will be one of the first to access this sizzling summer read as we are lucky enough to celebrate it the day before its public release!!!! In Summer State of Mind, burnt-out NICU nurse Daisy Stevens returns to Cape Carolina, looking for a new life — and possibly new romance. On her first day at her “simpler” job, high school baseball coach Mason Thaysden discovers an abandoned baby, sending ripples through the entire tight-knit town. Enjoy a sit-down style event, a menu crafted by the Grandover Resort chef, a selection of wine and a thrilling talk followed by a Q&A session and book signing. Your ticket includes your own signed copy of her book the day before it’s out, your food and sips, and, of course, time well spent with Kristy and friends!

Dive into the perfect beach read with fellow book lovers as O.Henry magazine proudly hosts the launch of Road Trip by Mary Kay Andrews, The New York Times-bestselling author of over 30 novels with a celebrated career spanning more than three decades. Splitting her time between Tybee Island and Atlanta, both in Georgia, Andrews’ strong, feminine, Southern voice resonates with readers of all generations. In Road Trip, Maeve and Therese Dunigan are sisters–but the two have been estranged for years. They could not be more opposite: Maeve, a rule-follower and Therese, a rebel. But when their mother’s death brings the family back together, the two find that they have inherited a painting–one that could be worth millions and could save each of them from their respective wolves at the door.  Enjoy a sit-down meal at The Colonnade at Revolution Mill featuring a lunch spread crafted by Pepper Moon Catering and a thrilling talk followed by a Q&A session and book signing. Your ticket includes your own signed copy of her book the day it’s out, your meal and, of course, time well spent with Mary Kay and friends!
