- **Event Name**: Local Author Arkeym Young Book Signing Event
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 28 Mar, 2026 at 02:00 pm (-05:00)
- **Event Description**: Join author Arkeym N. Young for an afternoon of fiction and conversation centered on his debut novel, Half of Us: Book One, the first book in a planned trilogy. 

Arkeym will read selected excerpts from Book One, followed by a moderated discussion exploring the story’s characters, themes, and narrative structure.

During the program, Arkeym will discuss the creative process behind launching a long-form work of fiction, including the challenges of shaping the opening volume of a series and establishing a foundation for future installments. Audience questions will be encouraged as part of the discussion.

As an independent project, the book was written, edited, designed, published, and copyrighted entirely by the author. The event offers insight into both the artistic and practical aspects of bringing a debut novel from concept to completion.

The program will conclude with a free drawing for a signed copy of the book and an informal meet-and-greet. Display copies will be available to browse, and attendees interested in learning more will be directed to additional material online. No purchase is required.
