SUMMARY:Comic Pre-Launch Party: Passing in the Night
DESCRIPTION:Meet the author of Passing in the Night by Meghan Kemp-Gee\, an upcoming graphic novel published by Vancouver-based publisher Shrimp Cult Press. Passing in the Night is the story of two star-crossed lovers\, Ruth and Gloria. Ruth is a busy medical resident with a sleep disorder… and Gloria transforms into a giant flying lizard every night. While they struggle to make things work at home\, Ruth gets kidnapped by fairies and anti-magic riots spread throughout the city. Can they make things work\, or are they just two ships passing in the night? \nPassing in the Night was illustrated by the incredibly talented\, GLAAD and RINGO-award-winning Lane Lloyd\, and lettered by Megan Praz\, the illustrator of One More Year an Contested Strip. \nThe event will include a talk by author Meghan Kemp-Gee\, snacks\, non-alcoholic drinks\, and an exclusive comic of the opening pages of the book for anyone who backs the Kickstarter. We are generously hosted by Cross & Crows Books\, a bookstore in East Vancouver that celebrates queer stories.

SUMMARY:Getting Juicy with Awfully Hilarious: Pillow Talk Book Launch
DESCRIPTION:Join us at Whistler Public Library as we celebrate the launch of the latest and greatest from the Awfully Hilarious Project. \nFirst\, we cringed and laughed at tales of first dates. Then\, we nodded in agreement and horror as we read Period Pieces. Now\, join us for the launch of the third book in the series\, Pillow Talk. This latest addition to the Awfully Hilarious series takes us into the bedrooms (and back-seats and bathrooms) of its writers with true tales of intimacy\, pleasure\, and desire. \nThis book launch will feature readings from several Pillow Talk contributors including Awfully Hilarious mastermind Heather Hendrie\, followed by a conversation moderated by Library Program Coordinator Jeanette Bruce and a Q&A with the audience.
