Come celebrate talented local Austin artists! This launch party is a unique project connecting local female authors in a collaborative writing and publishing experience.

If you choose the dance only option, but are interested in buying a book at the event, you'll need to upgrade your ticket. Since we'll have to order books a month ahead of the event, it's important to have an accurate count, otherwise you can purchase a book at the event to be mailed to you. We look forward to celebrating with you! * Why isn't this event completely free? Since we have to pay for event space, folks who are not purchasing a book will need to pay for their tickets to defray the costs of space rental, food and drinks. Thanks for your understanding! What's inside these books: Orphan Pods From the author of the Eloia Born series comes a sweeping new tale of hope and found family… "To be that free! What would I do with so much freedom? Could I even appreciate it, if I ever stopped being afraid?" Hope can exist in the direst of situations. In a desert city ravaged by a war between humans and gene-altered hybrids, homeless children are either enslaved by the underworld or housed in austere camps called Orphan Pods. Abandoned by his mother and trapped in the Pods, sixteen-year-old Toref yearns to free his sisters from slavery. With his friends, an illiterate mastermind and a double-amputee coder, Toref plans a rescue, but quickly runs afoul of the deadly casino bosses. His only hope is to recruit Idris, a street-savvy, hybrid hover-pilot. But her trust is hard won. Fifteen-year-old Idris nearly died escaping her own slavery. She dreams of finding a better life in the distant fringe territories and wants zero ties holding her back. Still, she cannot ignore Toref’s anguished plea for help. He and his friends offer a kinship that Idris desperately needs, and she discovers a love she never thought possible. Saving Toref’s sisters; however, means stepping into the casino bosses’ dangerous web. Can Idris and Toref defeat the bosses and reach the safe fringe territories, or will the attempt cost the freedom of all who joined them on their quest? Join Idris and Toref on their quest to find freedom! Beneath a Sun Deprived Sky For fans of The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet and The Expanse , here comes a tale of love and resistance from a new, must-read novelist! “I get my heart broken, lose folk, scrape bottom, but here is what I’m fighting for. Always.. .” On a storm-battered world controlled by a ruthless mining guild, a maze of city-warrens sprawl outside colony walls, its inhabitants exploited for labor, but excluded from any support. A doctor fleeing her past . Phantom pain from the psychic gift her powerful family repressed drives Del Marks to pursue a calling as a charity doctor. Del brings crucial medical aid to a city warren, Balter’s Den, but she learns that serving this community means sharing its very real dangers. Plagued by fears of failure in a system designed to produce just that, she finds comfort and reassurance with fellow outsider, Tam Lyn, an enigmatic stealth worker. Will their alliance be enough to shield Del from the forces uniting against her and Balter’s Den? A spy with a deadly secret . Tam Lyn conceals his half-alien heritage to avoid brutal discrimination. Intrigued by Del’s aura, Tam helps her, but finds himself dragged into her mission, imperiling his secret and challenging his self-imposed isolation. As warring gangs thrust Tam and Del into their power struggles, can he allow himself to love Del in the way that he wants and that she needs? Snag this brand-new epic featuring unforgettable characters, a thrilling ride through an exciting world, and a beautiful love story that will make this book hard to put down! About the Authors Britta Jensen’s debut YA novel Eloia Born won the 2019 Writer’s League of Texas YA Discovery Prize and was long-listed for the 2016 Exeter Novel Prize.

In her spare time, she dances with her awesome tailor husband , and volunteers with the Relief Society, SCBWI and the Writer’s League of Texas.

Join us in welcoming New York Times best-selling author and Pulitzer Prize finalist, Lydia Millet whose memoir "We Loved It All" is a selection for this year's Mayor's Book Club. Millet will be joined by ocean scientist Juli Berwald in a conversation. A book signing will follow with books available for purchase on site from Black Pearl Books. Millet’s anti-memoir "We Loved It All" explores the pain and joy of being a parent, child, and human at a moment when the richness of the planet’s life is deeply threatened. Emerging from Millet’s quarter century of wildlife and climate advocacy, the book marries scenes from her life with moments of nearness to “the others” — the animals and plants with whom we share the earth. Lydia Millet has written more than a dozen novels and story collections. Her novel “A Children’s Bible” was a New York Times Best 10 Books of 2020 selection and shortlisted for the National Book Award. In 2019 her story collection “Fight No More” received an Award of Merit from the American Academy of Arts and Letters, and her collection “Love in Infant Monkeys” was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize in 2010. She also writes essays, opinion pieces, book reviews, and other ephemera and has worked as an editor and staff writer at the Center for Biological Diversity since 1999. She lives in the desert outside Tucson with her family Juli Berwald is an ocean scientist and science writer based in Austin. She is the author of the science memoir "Spineless: The Science of Jellyfish and the Art of Growing a Backbone." Information Source: The Library Foundation | eventbrite
