||| FROM DARVILL’S BOOKSTORE & ORCAS ISLAND LIBRARY |||
Please join Darvill’s Bookstore & the Orcas Library in welcoming NY Times bestselling and award-winning author Stacey Lee. Stacey will discuss her new historical YA novel “HEIRESS OF NOWHERE,” which takes place on Orcas Island in 1918.
Stacey Lee is the New York Times and Indie bestselling author of historical and contemporary young adult fiction, including The Downstairs Girl, a Reese’s Book Club YA pick, Luck of the Titanic, which received five starred reviews, and her current gothic mystery, Heiress of Nowhere, which Booklist called ‘an exceptional novel.’ A native of southern California and fourth-generation Chinese American, she practiced law for several years before retiring to start her real job writing books. Her books have been published in over a dozen countries and have won the Asian Pacific American Librarians Association award, the PEN Center award for best YA, the Northern California Book Award, and the Golden Poppy Award and appeared on Cosmopolitan‘s Best YA Books of All Time, and Parade Magazine‘s Best YA, among others. She is a co-founder of the We Need Diverse Books movement and writes stories for all kids (even the ones who look like adults).
Stacey loves board games, has perfect pitch, and through some mutant gene, can smell musical notes through her nose.
Gray Gailey will moderate the discussion, followed by an audience Q & A.
The event is free on Friday, July 17th at 6:30pm at the Orcas Library. Pizza & Pop will be served.
