Come on an adventure to Coupeville’s premiere cryptid-themed bar for an author talk with Peyton June on Thursday, August 13th at 5:30pm!

June’s newest book, “The Monsters We Made” is a q***r, X-Files-inspired YA thriller. To save her family’s struggling ranch, 18-year-old Claire fabricates an alien cryptid encounter that grabs the attention of paranormal vlogger Lenny. But as the girls are drawn together in Claire’s hoax, the more they realize something eerie is actually afoot!

This is a free event, but we recommend you RSVP and preorder your book as space and supply are limited! Come early to purchase an age-appropriate beverage and a cryptid crepe from our hosts!

Join us for a free author talk tomorrow at 4pm with Marianne T. Rafter and Marciana Ciresi!

Dancing on the Brink of the world by Marianne T. Rafter is an illuminating look at an adventurous life in colonial Alta California, Dancing on the Brink of the World is the imagined account of real-life British sailor Captain William A. Richardson after he is marooned in the San Francisco Bay.

Through a Cracked Lens by Marciana Ciresi follows the Migliore family as they flee the devastation and corruption of Italy after WWII and seek a better life in distant Argentina. Told in first person as the memories of a 14 year old girl, the adult Julietta recounts in Departing War’s Despair, her youthful hopes for a brighter future, only to discover that she and her family have escaped the legacy of Mussolini’s Italian fascism to face the reality of Peron’s repressive Argentine regime.
