Literary Bookpost will host an author luncheon on the release of Secrets of Eden, the new novel by Chris Bohjalian (last year's Brady Author Symposium Author). The luncheon will be a limited seating ticketed event and advance reservations will be required. Attendees will receive one copy of Bohjalian's new novel included in the event price; additional copies may be purchased on the 18th. The lunch will be followed by a book signing, and those who can attend only the signing will be allowed in after the luncheon. Literary Bookpost is thrilled to be one of only two shops in North Carolina to host Bohjalian on his nationwide tour, and we were able to secure his appearance only because of the great response he received in his 2009 visit to Salisbury. Additional information regarding this special event will be available as soon as arrangements are completed.
