Author Valerie Comer will be celebrating the recent release of Raspberries and Vinegar: A Farm Fresh Romance at 2 p.m. Oct. 26 at Black Bear Books.
She will read a selection from the novel, talk about the writing/publishing process, field questions from the floor and, of course, sign copies. The party will feature local food snacks, as well as her own raspberry vinegar.
The Christian fiction book follows the story of Josephine Shaw, described as “a tiny woman with big ideas and, some would say, a mouth to match. But what does she really know about sustainable living as it relates to the real world? After all, she and her two friends are new to farming.”
Meanwhile, Zachary Nemesek plans to stay in town only until his dad recovers enough to work his land again. “When Zach discovers three helpless females have taken up residence at the old farm next door, he expects trouble. But a mouse invasion proves Jo has everything under control. Is there anything she can’t handle? And surely there’s something sweet beneath all that tart.”
