Author Talk with Olivia Dade
Saturday, September 24, 2 p.m.
Register for Author Talk with Olivia Dade
Join us for a Virtual Author Talk with romance author, Olivia Dade! Olivia Dade grew up an undeniable nerd, prone to ignoring the world around her as she read any book she could find. Her favorites, though, were always, always romances. As an adult, she earned an M.A. in American history and worked in a variety of jobs that required the donning of actual pants: Colonial Williamsburg interpreter, high school teacher, academic tutor, and (of course) librarian. Now, however, she has finally achieved her lifelong goal of wearing pajamas all day as a hermit-like writer and enthusiastic hag. She currently lives outside Stockholm with her delightful family and their ever-burgeoning collection of books.

Miss an author event? We’ve recorded many of them, and they’re available to watch on our YouTube channel!
