Miriam Allenson
Miriam Allenson is known for “writing about hunky heroes and the women who drive them crazy.” You can borrow two of her novels from eBCCLS including When the Duke Finds His Heart about new author, Livvy Browne, who is in England researching the Duke of Brompton’s ancestor. Jack Anstruther, duke of Brompton, refuses to help Livvy since her estranged father is his business rival. She just wants access to his library, but she might also work her way into his heart.
Carol Van Den Hende
Carol Van Den Hende is the author of the Goodbye, Orchid contemporary fiction series including Orchid Blooming, Goodbye, Orchid and coming in 2023 Always Orchid. Orchid Paige is now in her late 20’s but can’t escape the childhood trauma of her parent’s fatal accident. Now a marketer in the beauty industry she is struggling to win a promotion. The handsome entrepreneur who helps her with career might also just be the one who can help heal her heart. You can borrow the first two of Van Den Hende’s ebooks from eBCCLS.
Stacey Wilk
Stacey Wilk describes her books as “about finding your true family, steamy love, and second chances.” Wilk’s latest novel is Stay Awhile, Part 2 of the Big Sky Country series. In the novel, Tara Haden is running away from her abusive ex. She is Ryker Ranch’s new massage therapist when she meets Kace Ryker. A bad crash ended Kace’s race car dreams, but Tara and her massages give him hope. Can they create a new better future for them both together? Part 1 of the Big Country Series, Time Won’t Erase, is also available from Hoopla along with many of Wilk’s other romance novels.
We hope you can join us on October 15 from 11 am-4 pm in Church Square Park across from the library’s main branch at 500 Park Ave in Hoboken. Our authors will be giving book talks and readings throughout the day. Plus you can stop by the local author tent to meet them and have them sign copies of their books, if you would like. We also will have music, a cooking demo, and fun events for children and teens.
