Signature Series
Julia Quinn Discusses Her High Society Romance Novels at the Fort Thomas Mess Hall
After an amazing Summer Reading season, we are excited to bring back Signature Series beginning with The New York Times bestselling author Julia Quinn! On Sunday, Sept. 6 at 3 pm, hear Quinn discuss her wildly popular series at the Fort Thomas Mess Hall (801 Cochran Ave., Fort Thomas). Learn more about your favorite romance series, like Bridgerton, Rokesbys and The Smythe-Smith Quartet. Stick around after the presentation to meet Quinn and get a book signed! Roebling Books will be in-house selling Quinn’s novels.
An expert in writing about high-society English romances, Quinn’s career has been eventful since the beginning. She published her first book, Splendid, in 1995 and found her niche writing historical romances. In 2000, Quinn published The Duke and I: the first book in the nationally bestselling Bridgerton series and the book that changed her career forever. Since the publication of The Duke and I, Quinn’s novels have been a mainstay on The New York Times bestsellers list. Netflix’s Bridgerton adaptation debuted Christmas 2020 and quickly became one of its most-watched shows.
In addition to writing, Quinn is a strong library supporter. She became the first national ambassador for EveryLibrary in 2023, and served as a library advocate while working to fight against censorship. Libraries were a big part of her childhood, and Quinn works to protect them and support the work that libraries do across the nation.
Whether you have been a fan of Quinn’s novels for years, became a fan after the show’s release or fall somewhere in between, you will have a great time meeting Quinn at this September’s Signature Series.
Do not wait to hear about this event from Lady Whistledown’s society papers; clear your plans and become a member of CCPL’s ton. We look forward to seeing you there!
