A dramatic reading and reception with Robert Beatty, the #1 New York Times best-selling author of the Serafina Series, at the historic Masonic Temple Theater in downtown Asheville. Be the first to hear Robert read from his upcoming fourth book, WILLA OF THE WOOD.
WILLA OF THE WOOD is a new tale of history, mystery, and magic, set in the Great Smoky Mountains, about a young night-spirit with the ancient powers of the forest within her. One of the last of her kind, Willa must find her way in a changing and dangerous world. This is a brand new story with new characters, but Serafina fans will find themselves reunited with some old friends.
The $24.95 ticket price (plus Eventbrite’s ticketing fee + taxes), includes the following:
-A seat in the theater for Robert’s reading.
-A first edition hardcover of WILLA OF THE WOOD, autographed by the author, provided for pick-up at Barnes & Noble-Asheville Mall during the official launch week (July 8-14) or any day thereafter (or it can be shipped to you for an additional $4).
-A reception after the event with Robert and his family.
-A Willa of the Wood bookmark, sticker, and button for each attendee.
-A special edition Willa of the Wood chapter sampler that includes the first three chapters of the book.
-Meet the author, take photos, and have your Serafina books autographed and personalized.
-A door-prize drawing to win one of at least five Advanced Review Copies (ARC) of Willa of the Wood (as soon as they become available sometime in May).
All seats for this reading event include the pre-order for the book. If this results in one or more extra books that you don’t need, then when you checkout, please select the option to donate your extra Willa book(s) to a local school. The Buncombe County and Henderson County Schools greatly appreciate your support.
The first three Serafina books will be available for sale through Barnes & Noble at the event. Food will be available for sale from various vendors at the event.
PLEASE NOTE: Due to the logistics of the event, the Willa books provided to you in July will be autographed by the author, but not personalized with your name. If you want your book personalized, please attend one of Robert’s in-store book signings during or after Willa launch week (July 8-14). He will, of course, be happy to personalize your Willa book at that time.
