This August, while downtown buzzes with the energy of pickleball showdowns, cornhole tournaments, and lawn games galore, Fables Books invites you to step off the sidelines and into the stories that shape us.
Join us for a special Meet the Authors event from 6–8 p.m., featuring two thought-provoking writers whose work explores identity, trauma, resilience, and transformation.
Amanda K Gross, author of White Women, Get Ready: How Healing Post-Traumatic Mistress Syndrome Leads to Anti-Racist Change, offers an honest and compassionate call to action for white women ready to unlearn generational harm and show up differently in movements for justice. A blend of memoir, movement work, and cultural reflection, Amanda’s work invites community-based healing and radical reimagination.
Cobie LaJeanne, debut author of Blood in the Cradle, presents a chilling psychological thriller that delves into religious trauma, grief, and the murky line between justice and obsession. Set within the haunting backdrop of an angel-worshipping church, Cobie’s novel offers suspense, emotional depth, and a fierce heroine haunted by her past.
Whether you’re drawn to real-world reckoning or gripping fiction, come meet Amanda and Cobie, chat about their books, and explore stories that speak to transformation in all its forms.
Both books will be available for purchase and signing.
Stop by Fables Books between lawn games and tournaments, because stories still win the day in a world full of noise.
