We are excited to host author Kristen Reads during the July First Friday celebration!

Kristen Reads (known to many of you as Kristen Martin) grew up in Mount Vernon and will be back in town to sign copies of her new cozy romance Willowbrook Wishes.

(When you pick up a copy for your shelves, you may notice that the fictional town of Willowbrook has some serious Mount Vernon vibes!)
