SUMMARY:Book Launch: Michelle Collins Anderson\, The Moonshine Women
DESCRIPTION:The Snail on the Wall is thrilled to celebrate the launch of Michelle Collins Anderson’s new novel\, The Moonshine Women\, a powerful tale of reinvention\, sisterhood\, revenge\, and love. Fans of Southern writers and historical fiction will love the chance to meet Michelle and learn about this Prohibition-era story. \nThis event is part of our weekly celebration leading up to Independent Bookstore Day (which will be Saturday\, April 25). Join us for all five events on all five days if you can! \nGet Tickets Here! \nThe event will be at The Snail on the Wall bookstore. Tickets are $18.95 and include a copy of The Moonshine Women. \nAbout The Moonshine Women:\nEvery batch of the Strong family’s moonshine has its own special flavor\, thanks to the secret ingredients that matriarch Lidy Strong adds to the barrels of fermenting corn mash. That extra “something something” is what makes the Strong “shine” so prized—and allows the family to survive after crop prices plummeted in the wake of the Great War. Each of the Strong sisters is distinct. The eldest\, Rebecca\, finds a new home in the love she discovers after a near-devastating accident. Middle sister Elsie is kind\, beautiful\, and itching for a life more thrilling than the farm can offer. And Jace\, the bold and wild-hearted youngest\, is known far and wide as “Shine.” Their father\, Hiram\, has been drowning himself in grief and liquor ever since his wife died. When tragedy strikes\, it falls to the Strong women to keep the still running\, the family together\, and hope burning on the horizon. \nAbout Michelle Collins Anderson:\nMichelle Collins Anderson was born in St. Louis\, Missouri\, and grew up on a farm in the Missouri Ozarks — a place and a way of life that has shaped her writing. She graduated summa cum laude from the University of Missouri with a Bachelor of Journalism degree. In 2013\, she graduated with an MFA in Fiction from Warren Wilson College in Asheville\, North Carolina. Michelle lives in St. Louis\, Missouri.

As the country flounders in the Great Depression\, a shrewd public relations ploy seems like the only way to save Ruby Falls. A famous mind reader and mystic agrees to launch himself into the Ruby Falls caverns where he will attempt to locate a hidden hatpin using his psychic abilities. He’ll be joined by five others: his manager\, his wife\, a guide\, a Chattanooga businessman\, and a reporter from the Chicago Times. But they’re not alone in the caverns.

SUMMARY:Book Launch: Heather Webber\, The Forget-Me-Not Library
DESCRIPTION:Join The Snail on the Wall as we welcome one of our favorite authors back to Huntsville: Heather Webber\, to celebrate her new novel\, The Forget-Me-Not Library\, a story about two women who alter the pages of each other’s story. \nThe event will be at The Snail on the Wall bookstore.  \nTickets are $29.00 and include a copy of The Forget-Me-Not Library. \nAbout The Forget-Me-Not Library:\nJuliet Nightingale is lucky to be alive. Months after a freak accident involving lightning\, she’s fully recovered but is left feeling that something is missing from her life. Impulsively\, she decides to take a solo summer road trip\, hoping that the journey will lead her down a path that will help her discover exactly what it is that she’s searching for. \nNewly single mom Tallulah Byrd Mayfield is hanging by a thread after her neat\, tidy world was completely undone when her husband decided that their marriage was over. Tallulah starts a new job at the Forget-Me-Not Library\, where old\, treasured memories can be found within the books—and where Lu must learn to adapt to the many changes thrown her way. \nWhen a road detour leads Juliet to Forget-Me-Not\, Alabama\, and straight into Tallulah’s life\, the two women soon discover there’s magic in between the pages of where you’ve been and where you still need to go. And that happiness\, even when lost\, can always be found again. \nAbout Heather Webber:\nHeather Webber is the national bestselling author of more than 30 novels—including Midnight at the Blackbird Cafe—and has been twice nominated for an Agatha Award. She loves to spend time with her family\, read\, drink too much coffee and tea\, birdwatch\, crochet\, watch cooking competitions and home improvement shows\, and bake. Heather lives in southwestern Ohio but writes beautifully about magical small towns in Alabama\, which are fictitious but feel all too real.
