Borison is back with a whimsical new holiday romance—this time with a magical twist—that will have everyone falling in love with the Ghost of Christmas Past. He’s the Ghost of Christmas Past. She’s not exactly Scrooge. Ghost of Christmas Past Nolan Callahan intends to spend this holiday haunting like every other—get in, get out, return to his otherwise aimless existence as a ghost awaiting the afterlife. But when he’s faced with Harriet York, the sweetest assignment he’s ever had, he suddenly finds himself wishing for a future. Harriet York has no idea why she’s being haunted. She’s a good person—or, at least, she tries to be. A people pleaser to her core, she always does what’s expected of her. But as she and Nolan begin to examine her past, they discover there are threads that bind them together— and realize there might be more to moving on than expected. With the deadline of Christmas Eve fast approaching, will they find the key to their futures in each other’s pasts? Or will they stay firmly in the present, indulging in their unexpected, spirited connection? Filled with magic, mayhem, and cozy holiday charm, this swoony romance is B.K. Borison’s best yet!

Katherine Wela Bogen on Queering Him

Join Katherine Wela Bogen as she unpacks her debut book,&nbsp;Queering Him! Tickets come with a copy of the book and access to the discussion. Food and beverage will be available for purchase in the room. About the Author... In her own words, Katherine Wela Bogen is “first, a storyteller; second, a scholar-activist; and third, a joyful little freak.” Bisexual and Jewish, she grew up in rural New England. An NIH–funded doctoral student in clinical psychology, studying the intersections of bisexual identity, sexual trauma, sexual functioning, and kink, she has published more than thirty peer-reviewed papers and is the host of the political podcast SuperHumanizer. Bogen’s 500k+ social media followers will recognize her as @k.w.bogen from her public-facing scholar activism.&nbsp;Queering Him, the first in the Avra and Kieran trilogy, is Bogen’s first novel.&nbsp; About the Book... For fans of books by Sally Rooney and Luster by Raven Leilani, Katherine Wela Bogen’s debut fiction novel&nbsp;Queering Him&nbsp;explores the intricacies of queer millennial relationships in the form of a scalding hot page-turner.&nbsp;A heart-shattering tale of two unforgettable characters caught beneath an onslaught of shared grief.&nbsp; Behind her high school bully’s petty torments and childish epithets, Avra recognizes something familiar in Kieran’s lingering, threatened gaze—what if he’s cruel, not because he fears her queerness and her outness, but because he covets it for himself?&nbsp; A mutual fascination with each other becomes an obsession, tethering Avra and Kieran to each other through early adulthood as they embark on a relationship both perilous and revelatory. Both an erotic and provocative contribution to social and psychological discourse about bisexuality, queer identity, and kink,&nbsp;Queering Him&nbsp;is the first installment in a trilogy about enemies turned lovers Avra and Kieran and their tumultuous relationship.

More about&nbsp;The Will of the Many...&nbsp; At the elite Catenan Academy, a young fugitive uncovers layered mysteries and world-changing secrets in this new fantasy series by internationally bestselling author of The Licanius Trilogy, James Islington. AUDI. VIDE. TACE. The Catenan Republic – the Hierarchy – may rule the world now, but they do not know everything. I tell them my name is Vis Telimus. I tell them I was orphaned after a tragic accident three years ago, and that good fortune alone has led to my acceptance into their most prestigious school. I tell them that once I graduate, I will gladly join the rest of civilised society in allowing my strength, my drive and my focus – what they call Will – to be leeched away and added to the power of those above me, as millions already do. As all must eventually do. I tell them that I belong, and they believe me. But the truth is that I have been sent to the Academy to find answers. To solve a murder. To search for an ancient weapon. To uncover secrets that may tear the Republic apart. And that I will never, ever cede my Will to the empire that executed my family. To survive, though, I will still have to rise through the Academy’s ranks. I will have to smile, and make friends, and pretend to be one of them and win. Because if I cannot, then those who want to control me, who know my real name, will no longer have any use for me. And if the Hierarchy finds out who I truly am, they will kill me.
