Cassandra Medcalf will be in the shop signing books, including her latest publication. She has published 7 books, and was recently featured in an anthology published by the Bi+ Book Gang. Her eighth book comes out this November. Her first small-town romance series actually takes place in the Winchester area (the characters are all from Winchester/Hagerstown/Martinsburg - the I-81 corridor), and her second book was edited by Mary Adams-Legge, who taught English (and me!) at Sherando High School. "Love. Laugh. Lore. I love to tell stories with rich characters, humor, spice, body positivity, and unexpected twists."

Come get your signed copy! A lonely princess is granted 3 devastating wishes by an enigmatic Otherworld creature, unleashing hellish consequences from which she might never be redeemed. A Dark Most Fair, is a lyrical historical folktale rooted in Irish myth—perfect for readers who love Leigh Bardugo or Juliet Marillier. It’s the kind of story that asks to be savored: immersive, mythic, and beautifully bound. L.M. Riviere grew up on 80's flicks and twisted fairy tales... and it shows. Her stories flirt with the inherent darkness of the human condition, blending fable, mythology, and pseudo-historical narrative— in an effort to seduce, mystify, and unsettle readers. She'd be overjoyed to learn anyone lost sleep over one of her yarns. She is most influenced by the works of Peter Beresford Ellis, J.R.R. Tolkien, Charles Dickens, Frank Herbert, Ann Rice, and Juliet Marillier. Her favorite book of all time, is Herbert's 'Dune'. Riviere is also a Photographer, Editor, and Marketing Professional. When she isn't writing, she's battling the elements for the perfect shot, hiking any and everywhere, or playing in myriad bodies of water.
