Join us for a very special book signing event this Easter weekend. On Saturday, April 4, 3 to 5 pm: Book Owl is excited to feature children’s fantasy
book The Enchanted Conquest and its sequel The Amulet Wand at a special
signing event with author Beth Danwyck.
Targeted for elementary and middle school-aged readers, these fantasy
adventure stories follow young teenager Angela Wollander on her journeys
through the world of Merlin. How will she manage to stop curses or even use a
wand when she isn't a sorceress at all? Join us for an exciting day on this Easter weekend!

Summary of The Enchanted Conquest:
Thirteen-year-old Angela Wollander had never believed in magic. That is, she
had never believed until something magical happened to her. When Angela
agrees to embark on an enchanted conquest, she wonders if she will be able to
save the fairies who seem so desperate for her aid. How can she be their key?
Making her way in the world of Merlin, Angela begins to learn just how precious
and powerful dignity and honor can be.

Summary of The Amulet Wand:
Nearly two years after saving the fairy race, Angela Wollander finds herself back
in the magical world of Merlin on a new conquest. Merlin’s Spell Book and the
amulet wand have fallen into the wrong hands, and it is up to Angela and her
companions to stop the villain before he steals the throne and brings disaster to
all of Merlin.

The Book Owl proudly presents a unique Book Signing Special Event on March 14th noon-2pm.
This Saturday March 14th, the Book Owl will showcase a new and up and coming local author Odysseus Saint for an engaging book signing event. His book "For Elise" is a psychological literary novel that explores intimacy, power, and emotional dependency within a family unit. Rather than centering taboo as shock value, the novel interrogates how harm becomes normalized when love, protection, and silence are allowed to override accountability. Come and enjoy a unique experience with Odysseus Saint as he presents his engrossing new book.

The Christmas holiday season can be a wonderful time for friends and family to reconnect and for their ties to deepen. It is a good time to resolve to reset and recharge as best you can. I have found many interesting and valuable books on making good changes and taking care of yourself and others at the Book Owl. I have also found real edge of your seat stories. So many people come to the Book Owl and talk about the books that have made their day or even improved their lives. So I have good inside tips on the best stuff to read. It is Christmas time and it would be great for you to come by and enjoy the great variety of books now in stock. The Book Owl is dressed up nicely with good music and Christmas scents. And we now have Gift Cards!
