It’s that time of year again – time to turn your clocks back one hour and gain an extra hour of sleep in anticipation of cooler weather, perfect for curling up with a good book. And what better way to fall back in time, to the mid-1860s and late-1960s, than by diving into not one, not two, but three fascinating works of historical fiction. Please join us as we welcome NYT bestselling authors Kristin Harmel, Alka Joshi, and Martha Hall Kelly at our fun Fall Back In Time Dinner Adventure at Café Coyote, as the authors discuss their respective books, "The Forest of Vanishing Stars" (an evocative coming-of-age World War II story based partially on incredible true accounts of survival), "The Secret Keeper of Jaipur," (henna artist Lakshmi arranges for her protégé to intern at the Jaipur Palace), and "Sunflower Sisters" (the story of a Union nurse during the Civil War whose calling leads her to cross paths with a young enslaved girl). Your Adventure includes a signature Cafe Coyote Mexican dinner, chips and salsa, a soft beverage, tax, gratuity, author presentation, book signing, and the opportunity to engage in meaningful and intimate conversation with all three authors. And if you really want the full Stars, Secrets, and Sunflowers experience, make sure to join the VIP Dinner (requires purchase of 3 book discounted bundle), which includes a margarita, and a 30 minute meet and greet with the authors. PLEASE NOTE: Dinner event begins at 3:45 p.m. VIP reception begins at 3 p.m. Only books purchased below or at the event will be eligible for signing.
