Greetings, dear readers and Lady Jane’s Salon devotees.
Your co-founder Leanna Renee Hieber here, and I am so very thrilled to tell you about September 7th. I’ll be hosting a very special event, a launch party for my debut novel, The Strangely Beautiful Tale of Miss Percy Parker, a ghostly, Gothic Victorian Fantasy novel, first in the Strangely Beautiful series with Dorchester Publishing.
You will find charming atmosphere, a mysterious Strangely Beautiful drink special at the incredible Madame X price of $5.00, there will be a raffle for a special prize, and your hostess will be in full 1880’s garb in honour of her book’s setting.
You’ll also have the opportunity not only to hear two selections from The Strangely Beautiful Tale of Miss Percy Parker but fellow award winning author Isabo Kelly, one of my dearest friends and inspirations in this business, will be reading a selection from her work as well. Books will be available for purchase and signing.
This is a very special night for me, as this is a very special book. I hope you’ll join me, Isabo Kelly, the Lady Jane’s co-founders, a host of my friends coming from far and wide and the lovely and wonderful people at Dorchester Publishing for an evening of strangely beautiful delights.
For more information about The Strangely Beautiful Tale of Miss Percy Parker, please visit www.leannareneehieber.com. All the usual Lady Jane’s Salon particulars are in effect, see you at Madame X on September 7th at 7pm!
Blessings!
