Author Talk: Susie Dumond and Chip Pons

Lower Level Conference Room
MRSPL and Bards Alley Bookshop will co-host local authors Susie Dumond and Chip Pons talking about their new contemporary romance books! A book signing will follow the author talk.

Susie Dumond's Bed and Breakup tells the story of Molly and Robin, two exes who reunite to fix up and sell the Hummingbird Inn, the bed-and-breakfast that destroyed their marriage -- because some dreams, no matter how dusty or broken, deserve a second change. Their love story is a bit of a fixer-upper!
Winging It With You is popular bookstagrammer Chip Pons's gay rom-com about two men who impulsively pose as a couple to compete in a reality show contest just minutes after meeting at an airport, and their run-in with the very real feelings that start to simmer between them.
