Join me for The Wedding Veil Launch Party!
Well, friends, the real, true countdown has begun. TWO WEEKS. Two weeks–that’s less time than I used to go to summer camp–until I hit the road for THE WEDDING VEIL tour and, hopefully, my newest novel is sitting on your bookshelf or nightstand! (Or, better yet, in your hands!) Thank you to all of you who have been so enthusiastic about the release of my first historical/contemporary novel. I can’t wait to share my plucky, fun modern day grandmother and granddaughter, Babs and Julia, and, of course, the real-life Edith and Cornelia Vanderbilt (my fictionalized version of them, anyway!) with all of you!
Have you gotten your ticket for THE WEDDING VEIL LAUNCH PARTY yet? I am so excited for this sure-to-be-amazing event at the home of Shari and Bill Graham in Salisbury, NC with South Main Book Company. Your $30 ticket includes a signed hardback of the book, cocktails, hors d’oeuvres, and even a viewing of a pair of Princess Diana’s gowns owned by the Grahams! The gowns usually spend the year traveling the country but are coming back to Salisbury just for us.
Join us from 5-7PM on March 29 (launch day!!!). I’ll be doing a quick talk and Q&A at 6 pm.
To get your ticket, click here, or call South Main Book Co. at 704-630-9788.
Can’t wait to see you there!
If you can’t make it to the party but would like a signed or personalized copy shipped your way just let South Main know. I will be at the store on the 28th getting all their orders ready!
Can’t make it for the launch party? Check out the rest of my tour dates!
Kind Words From Fiona Davis
“Woodson Harvey’s latest is a knockout—a perfect blend of historical fiction (two generations of Vanderbilts and their iconic North Carolina mansion) and modern love (a runaway bride and her grieving grandmother). Her masterful intertwining of the storylines makes for a read that’s both sweeping yet incredibly intimate, with perfect pacing and characters who surprised at every turn. I didn’t want it to end.”—Fiona Davis, New York Times bestselling author of The Magnolia Palace
