Come find your next queer happily ever after!

📚 The Once Upon a Pride Author Fair is happening on Sunday, June 29 from 4–7 p.m. at The Open Book – Woodland Hills—and it’s about to be the gayest, glitteriest book event this side of Topanga Canyon.

Woodland Hills, CA 91367
Located in the Westfield Topanga shopping center, in a neighborhood just outside Los Angeles.
📅 Sunday, June 29
🕓 4–7 p.m.
Meet the Authors. Fall in Love (With a Book. Or Three.)
I'll be there signing copies of When Ivy Met Adam—my tender, sexy, soul-stirring queer romance about identity, healing, and bi joy. Come grab a signed copy, snag a sticker, and take home a little piece of queer love (written with a lot of heart).
I’m joined by three incredibly talented indie romance powerhouses you need on your shelf:
💕 Des DeVivo – author of sultry, swoony queer love stories with emotional depth and sparkly sass
🔥 Rena from Smoke Show Press – crafting bold, beautiful, unapologetically queer romance that burns bright
💖 Georgia K. Boone – writing sapphic stories with edge, charm, and the kind of tension that’ll leave you breathless
Between the four of us, you’ll find soulmates, second chances, found families, cinnamon rolls, slow burns, and a whole lot of kissing. (On the page. Probably.)
Why Pride Book Events Matter
Pride isn’t just about parades and rainbow merch (though yes, I will compliment your glitter eyeliner). It’s about visibility, joy, and making space for every kind of queer story—including the romantic ones.
Queer romance is powerful. It heals. It affirms. It says: You are lovable. You are worthy. Your story deserves a happy ending.
Events like Once Upon a Pride Author Fair give us the chance to celebrate that—together, in person, surrounded by books, laughter, and maybe a few happy tears.

Bring your glitter. Bring your bestie. Bring your wallet. Let’s make it a storybook ending. 💫
