Book Signing and Talk With Karen Winn
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 believe the secret society is merely as an elite social club, others insist it hides something more sinister…
Vivian Lawrence has it all: beauty, wealth, and an elegant Beacon Hill antiques shop. But when her carefully curated life begins to unravel and financial pressures mount, she sets out to uncover her family’s rumored fortune tied to the Knox secret society, There she meets Peter, a Knox insider with movie star good looks and just enough roughness to his charm to make Vivian truly weak in the knees.
Far from Boston’s glittering elite is newcomer Taylor Adams, a young nurse eager to leave her humble past behind. When the glamorous Vivian lands in her ER after a suspicious fall, Taylor is instantly captivated. But then Vivian abruptly disappears without a trace, sending Taylor on a search for answers that pulls her into the Knox itself—as their new employee.
The further Taylor ventures into the Knox’s world of unimaginable wealth and dark history, the more the mystery surrounding Vivian deepens. As Taylor will soon discover, more so than money or status, secrets are this society’s true currency.
Told in multiple timelines and point of views—including that of The Knox red-brick townhouse itself—The Society is a dark and twisty tale set amid the deceptively charming cobblestone streets of Beacon Hill. Coming January 2026!

Book Talk and Signing: Harper Ross
For fans of The Midnight Library and In Five Years, The Unwritten Rules of Magic is a spellbinding novel that blends magic and memory in an unforgettable journey through love, grief, and the hidden cost of perfection across three generations of women.
Emerson Clarke can't remember a time when she felt in control. Her father--a celebrated author--was a chaotic force until he got Alzheimer's. Her mother turned to gin. And recently, her teen daughter has shut her out without explanation. If only she could arrange reality the same way she controls the stories she ghostwrites, life could be perfect.
Or so she thinks.
After her father's funeral, Emerson steals his vintage typewriter--the one he'd forbidden anyone to touch--and tests its keys by typing out a frivolous wish. When it comes true the very next day, she tries another. Then, those words also spring to life. Suddenly, she becomes obsessed with using the typewriter to rewrite happiness for herself and her daughter.
But the more she shapes her real-life, the more she uncovers disturbing truths about her family's history and the unexpected cost of every story-come-true. She should destroy the typewriter, yet when her daughter's secret finally emerges, Emerson is torn between paying the price for bending fate and embracing the uncertainty of an unscripted life.
About Harper:
HARPER ROSS has enjoyed a lifelong love affair with the dramatic story worlds in books and movies. After leaving her legal practice to raise her kids, she discovered her own creative side and began writing novels that explore friendship, family, and forgiveness. Because she also appreciates the magic in everyday life—from the spark of attraction to those serendipitous moments we all experience—you’ll find a dash of that in her work too. When she’s not at the keyboard, she’s likely to be singing badly in her car, dancing in her kitchen, or walking her adorable dog, Mo. She’s also a lucky wife and mother to a very patient and supportive family.
About Lisa:
Lisa Roe graduated from the S. I. Newhouse School of Public Communications at Syracuse University and spent many years as an advertising creative director and copywriter in New York City before she accepted the tougher job of stay-at-home mom and turned to writing fiction —mostly to entertain her kids, but then to tell her own stories. A classic first born, reluctant empty nester, and Dr. Doolittle wannabe, Lisa lives in New Jersey with her husband, David and three incorrigible dogs. She is the author of Welcome to the Neighborhood and Big & Lily (coming 8.11.26.)
Book Signing and Talk with Jenna Blum
Come listen to New York Times and # 1 internationally bestselling author, Jenna Blum, talk about her new book, Murder Your Darlings!
For every woman who’s ever fallen for a man who seems too good to be true, comes MURDER YOUR DARLINGS, a hilarious and eviscerating suspense novel of love, loss, and publishing deadlines from New York Times bestselling author Jenna Blum.
EARLY PRAISE FOR MURDER YOUR DARLINGS:
“Authors and book tours, stalkers and deadlines, horrid men and ice cold revenge . . . Murder Your Darlings will have you cracking up while you’re checking under your bed.” — Karin Slaughter, New York Times and #1 internationally bestselling author
“Is it wrong to call a serial killer novel fun? Because Murder Your Darlings is great fun—a delicious satire of the writing life as well as a genuinely gripping thriller." — Joseph Finder, New York Times bestselling author of The Oligarch's Daughter
Known as a writer of brilliant historical novels (Those Who Save Us and The Lost Family), and beautifully evocative memoirs (Woodrow on the Bench), A Mighty Blaze co-founder and New York Times bestselling author Jenna Blum comes to readers with something completely different and truly delicious: her first psychological thriller. For fans of The Plot and The Wife but with more sex and death, MURDER YOUR DARLINGS (Harper, Hardcover; $30.00; ISBN: 9780063448087; on sale: January 13, 2026) is a delightfully devious, contemporary suspense novel about love, loss, and revenge set 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? Is William’s charming demeanor a fact—or a dangerous fiction?
Narrated by Sam, William, and The Rabbit, MURDER YOUR DARLINGS is at once a wickedly witty look at the writerly world, full of behind-the-scenes publishing lore and relatable characters, and also a down-the-rabbit-hole tale of how far people will go for love.
About Jenna:

I can’t wait for you and your audience to read MURDER YOUR DARLINGS, and I know you’ll want to feature it on your best books of 2026 lists. Its whip-smart, cinematic descriptions of publishing inside-baseball and relationship dynamics will have you laughing with recognition on every page, checking your closet for murderers, and questioning why it’s so hard sometimes to tell what’s true when you’re in love. Jenna is available for interviews and physical galleys will be in very soon — I’d be happy to send you one! I look forward to discussing prominent review and feature coverage for this fantastic new novel.

Join #1 New York Times bestselling author David Baldacci for an exciting evening celebrating his new thriller, Nash Falls. Hear him discuss the book, his writing, and the stories that captivate millions worldwide.
When Walter Nash is recruited by the FBI to help bring down a global crime network his life is turned completely upside down in this thriller from #1 New York Times bestselling author David Baldacci.
Nash is an intelligent man, tough but fair-minded. He has a wife and a daughter and a very high-level position at Sybaritic Investments, where his innate skills and dogged tenacity have carried him to the top of the pyramid in his business career. Despite never going on grand adventures, and always working too many hours, he has a happy and upscale life with his family.
However, following his estranged Vietnam-veteran father’s funeral, Nash is unexpectedly approached by the FBI in the middle of the night. They have an important request: become their inside man to expose an enterprise that is laundering large sums of money through Sybaritic. At the top of this illegal operation is Victoria Steers, an international criminal mastermind that the FBI has been trying to bring down for years.
Nash has little choice but to accept the FBI’s demands and try to bring Steers and her partners to justice. But when Steers discovers that Nash is working with the FBI, she turns the tables on him in a way he never could have contemplated. And that forces Nash to take the ultimate step both to survive and to take his revenge: He must become the exact opposite of who he has always been.
And even that may not be enough.
