“Figure skating is not about being perfect. It’s about being fearless.” — Michelle Kwan
Fresh off the inspiration of the Winter Olympics, Adventures by the Book® invites you to a one-of-a-kind Adventure with international bestselling author Wendy Walker, set against an unexpected and unforgettable backdrop: the San Diego Ice Arena.
Known for her razor-sharp psychological suspense and page-turning twists, Wendy Walker will take readers inside the mind of a thriller writer—exploring the themes, characters, and inspiration behind her gripping novels. But this Adventure goes far beyond the page. In a rare and personal moment, Wendy will also lace up her skates and step onto the ice, sharing stories from her past as a champion figure skater on the U.S. Olympic track, and showing us firsthand how fearlessness, discipline, and performance shaped both her athletic career and her writing life.
Joining Wendy in conversation is Justin, Director of the San Diego Ice Arena, a champion skater himself and former Disney On Ice star. Together, Wendy and Justin will explore the powerful parallels between elite skating and storytelling—risk, precision, resilience, and the courage it takes to perform under pressure. And yes, Justin will also lace up his skates, taking to the ice alongside Wendy for a truly unforgettable live demonstration.
This immersive Adventure blends conversation, storytelling, and experience—bringing readers closer to the authors and artists behind the performance in ways only Adventures by the Book® can. Whether you’re a devoted Wendy Walker fan, a mystery lover, a book-club reader looking for something truly different, or simply curious about the surprising intersections between sport and storytelling, this Adventure is designed for you.
Your Adventure includes a moderated author conversation, audience Q&A, live skating demonstration by Wendy Walker and Justin, book signing, and the opportunity to connect with fellow readers who appreciate suspense—on and off the ice.
