Book Launch: The Red Queen Dies

katelaity

Follow the White Rabbit to an UnBirthday Party

Red Queen

Where:  The Book House of Stuyvesant Plaza, Albany, New York

What:  Book launch party to celebrate the publication of The Red Queen Dies, the first book in my new near- future police procedural series set in Albany (a parallel universe/alternate reality version).  As you might have guessed from the cover, the book has an Alice in Wonderland/Through the Looking Glass theme. So does the party.

Who:  You’re invited. Feel free to share the invitation with friends. I have a big cake.

When:  Saturday, September 14, 2013, starting at 3 PM

Why:  Because there’ll be food, drink, a door prize, and volunteers who have agreed to read scenes from the book. You’ll have fun.

All the best,

Frankie Y. Bailey
