Book Talk with Kendra Vaughan

Join us at Book Love for an author talk with Kendra Vaughan who will be sharing on her book The Plymbury Witch. The talk will begin at 6pm which will be followed by a Q/A and book signing.

About the Book:

Nestled along the coast of Massachusetts sits the quaint town of Plymbury, steeped in history, tradition, and an undercurrent of magic. Ravenna Greene is the latest to inherit the mystical Sea Glass Apothecary in this town where stars turned to glass and fell into the ocean. Local legend whispers that after centuries of tumbling, they'd be used to grant wishes by a witch with one green and one brown eye.

But when Pastor Chase Wilkinson arrives, he incites prejudice among the townspeople and a devastating fire that consumes the apothecary. With an unusable shop needing repair and multiple rejections after inquiring about a temporary space to sell her magical creations, Ravenna accepts a room in Chase's church. But with one caveat: no magic.

Now, caught between two worlds, Ravenna must navigate loyalty to her lineage and a growing attraction to Chase. On one side, her heritage calls to her-a lineage of witches whose influence weaves into the very fabric of Plymbury. On the other side, the ordinary life she craves-far from the weight of her family's magical legacy and the prejudice of this conservative Christian community.

Soon, Ravenna will be faced with a heart-wrenching choice: love or magic.

About Murder Your Darlings

Known for such brilliant historical novels as Those Who Save Us and The Lost Family, A Mighty Blaze co-founder and New York Times bestselling author Jenna Blum now offers a contemporary, suspenseful novel about love, loss, and revenge in the world of books.

Simone “Sam” Vetiver is a mid-career novelist finishing a lukewarm publicity tour while facing a deadline for a new book on which she’s totally blocked. Recently divorced, Sam is worrying where her life is going when she receives glowing fan mail from stratospherically successful author William Corwyn, renowned for his female-centric novels. When William and Sam meet and his literary sympathy is as intense as their chemistry, both writers think they’ve found The One.

But as in their own novels, things between Sam and William are not what they seem. William has multiple stalkers, including a scarily persistent one named The Rabbit. He lives on a remote Maine island, where his writer life resembles The Shining. And when writers turn up dead, including from The Darlings support group William runs, Sam has to ask: Is it The Rabbit—William’s #1 Stalker? Another woman scorned? Can William be everything he seems?

Narrated by Sam, William, and The Rabbit, Murder Your Darlings is a wickedly witty look at today’s literary landscape and down-the-rabbit-hole tale of how far people will go for love.

Book Talk with Karen Winn

Book Talk with Karen Winn

From Karen Winn, author of Our Little World, comes The Society (Out January 20, 2026), a captivating story of two women whose lives become darkly intertwined with a secret society in the heart of Boston. Join us at Book Love for a seated conversation, Q&A, and book signing.

Register Here

More About The Society:

Welcome to The Knox, Boston’s most exclusive secret society. Rumors about the Knox and its influence have swirled through Boston for centuries. While some see it merely as an elite social club, others are certain it hides something more sinister. THE SOCIETY centers on the Knox through the eyes of two very different women: Vivian Lawrence, a high-end antiques dealer who grew up in the inner ring of old-money Boston and Taylor Adams, a naïve young nurse at Mass General Hospital who was raised far from Boston’s glittering elite and is eager to reinvent herself. 

Vivian is accustomed to a certain lifestyle, but with her mother declining in a nursing home and money growing unsettlingly thin, she turns to an old family legend that ties her to the Knox and its inheritance. As Vivian pursues her connections to the Knox, she becomes charmed by Peter, a devilishly handsome Knox insider, who captivates her in a way that no one has before. But, can this charming yet secretive man be trusted?

Taylor moved to Boston with dreams of sophistication and status, chasing a ghost from her past—her late mother. Reality of life in her new city has been anything but glamorous until one night, an effortlessly elegant patient arrives in her ER. The unknown woman reminds her of her mother: beautiful, stylish, and captivating. But there are puzzling circumstances surrounding her arrival and then, without warning, she disappears overnight.  

With hospital pressures mounting alongside a growing sense of discontent, Taylor quits nursing and takes a waitressing job at the Knox. Finally immersed in the world she’s always dreamed of, Taylor soon realizes all that glitters is not gold: her former patient was connected to the Knox—and her “accident” may not have been one at all. The deeper Taylor digs, the clearer it becomes: More so than wealth or status, secrets are The Knox’s currency.

Told in multiple timelines and POVs, including from the historic Knox brownstone itself, THE SOCIETY combines the buttoned-up, limitless power of the Roy family in Succession with Saltburn-level excess. A Boston resident, Winn drew from the true history of the city’s connections to the opium trade and her own experience as a nurse to bring her writing to life. The result is a dark and twisty tale of unimaginable wealth, sordid history, and deadly secrets, all set amid the deceptively charming cobblestone streets of Beacon Hill.

Set against the backdrop of the 2008 Global Financial Crisis, Brendan struggles with existential crises at work and home as he grapples with the possibility of bringing a part of Cassie back to life. His quest to find nurturing parents for the eggs evolves into a heartfelt exploration of love, forgiveness, and second chances.Damaged Goods is a captivating family saga that beautifully illustrates the complexities of human relationships, inviting readers to reflect on their legacies and the potential to rewrite their stories.

It’s an ideal choice for readers who enjoy book club fiction, literary family dramas, and stories about second chances.
