Plaza Branch and Central Library will open late at 11 a.m. on Saturday, Oct. 17 due to the Kansas City Marathon.
The New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Tessa Bailey is in conversation with Sierra Simone (Priest, American Queen), also a bestselling romance author, about Bailey’s latest book, Broken Rival, a time-travel romance about a high school girl stuck in the past and torn between two Kansas brothers.
She’s written more than 60 contemporary and romantic comedy books, often with a focus on stubborn, blue-collar men and loyal, lovable heroines. Bailey's breakout book was Fix Her Up, and she's also known for the hit romcom It Happened One Summer and its sequel, Hook, Line, and Sinker. Bailey lives on Long Island, New York, with her husband and daughter.
Simone is a USA Today and Wall Street Journal bestselling author. She's also a former librarian and says she spent too much time reading romance novels at the information desk. Simone's newest release is Fundamentals of Being a Good Girl. Her best-known books are Priest, American Queen, and Misadventures of a Curvy Girl. She has bylines in Marie Claire, Cosmopolitan, Entertainment Weekly, and Buzzfeed. Simone lives in Kansas City with her husband and family.
Program includes a photo line and book giveaway while supplies last.
