Author Visit with B.K. Borison
Wednesday, June 17, 6:00-8:00 pm, Medina Library, registration required
B.K. Borison is the author of the bestselling Heartstrings series (First-Time Caller and And Now, Back to You). She writes cozy, contemporary romances featuring emotionally vulnerable characters and swoon-worthy settings. When she’s not daydreaming about fictional characters doing fictional things, she’s at home with her family, more than likely buying books she doesn’t have room for. Lovelight Farms was her debut novel.
