SUMMARY:Author Reading: T. Hariman
DESCRIPTION:Join T. Harmin at Indy Reads on November 15 from 5:30-7pm for a reading\, discussion and signing of her works.Join T.HarRiMaN at Indy Reads on November 15 from 5:30-7pm for a reading\, and discussion\, of her works Burn this Book: The 10\,000 Year Plan and All Hail\, Queen of the Freaks\, signing to follow. This event is recommended for ages 8+ Proceeds from sales at Indy Reads support our English literacy programming for 400 adult learners each year. Burn this Book: The 10\,000 Year Plan DO YOU WANT TO SAVE THE WORLD?You’ll have to defeat the tyrants who want to control it—and kill you—first. That’s what Nadine Crane finds when she’s recruited into a ten thousand-year plan by Worth Moon\, who claims to be her boyfriend of many lives. Nadine just wants to get into the University of Chicago and nest in one of the Plan’s cozy\, luxurious safe houses. Worth has different ideas\, whisking Nadine through time and space on daring assignments\, each more perilous than the last. Meanwhile\, Worth trains Nadine to be a secret agent\, making Nadine do things she swore she’d never do. Join Worth and Nadine on a mission that spans the breadth of time and the depth of human longing. Can Worth capture Nadine’s heart all over again? And can Worth do it while saving the life of everyone on Earth—including yours? All Hail\, Queen of the Freaks Do you know the secret? The teenager C (short for “Catherine”) Query wishes she did. She doesn’t know how she awoke in the luxurious Paradiddle Lane\, a resort town outside Chicago where billionaires go for a self-indulgent escape. C also doesn’t know how she acquired her mysterious ability to travel to other universes\, dimensions\, and times when she plays the piano. But she does know that evil enemies are hunting her\, with murder on their minds. Can she outsmart them and find the truth in time to survive? And the deliciously attractive boys pursuing her: Whom can she trust\, and who is the enemy? As an alchemist of the written word\, T. HarRiMaN writes exciting escapes that make lives magic. T. HarRiMaN is a Pulitzer nominee from Indiana. The Chicago Tribune has called her work “a thrilling must-read for anyone who loves Harry Potter and Hunger Games.” She began writing paranormal romances\, which strongly influences her work today\, and her real-life encounters with the scary side of life are responsible for her books’ active elements of cozy horror. Nonetheless\, she believes every story should have a happy ending. In her spare time\, T. HarRiMaN takes her two cats on walks in a pink cat stroller. On top goes the smaller cat\, Picasso\, a seal-pointed Birman shown in Amazon’s Author Central photo. (She could’ve found better photos of herself\, but Picasso looks adorable. And let’s face it–it’s the cat who’s important.) On the bottom of the stroller is Piki\, a tabby Maine Coon who keeps her company while she works. This event is Pay-What-You-Can.

SUMMARY:Author Reading: Maurice Broaddus
DESCRIPTION:Join award-winning Afrofuturist author and librarian Maurice Broaddus for a reading and signing of his popular works released this year!\n\n\nOn Friday\, December 6 at 5:30pm\, join Indianapolis’ own Maurice Broaddus for a reading and signing of his recent books: Black Panther: T’Challa Declassified and Breath of Oblivion! \nThis event is for booklovers of all ages. \nProceeds from sales at Indy Reads support our English literacy programming for more than 400 adult learners each year. \n\n\n\nBlack Panther: T’Challa Declassified \nHe’s a king\, a hero\, a loving brother and son\, a husband to a goddess. The orphan king—the Haramu-Fal—and the Damisa-Sarki. And a man facing his doubts\, his failures\, and his destiny. Revisit the life of one of Marvel Comics’ most iconic and inspiring characters via in-world interviews\, journal entries\, newspaper articles\, and intelligence briefings from S.H.I.E.L.D. and other agencies. Black Panther: T’Challa Declassified draws on more than half a century of classic tales to present an insightful\, completely unique—and completely personal—take on one of the most talked-about heroes of all time. Featuring the perspectives of T’Challa’s most important allies and enemies\, including Shuri\, Queen-Mother Ramonda\, Ororo Munroe aka Storm\, Everett K. Ross\, Erik Killmonger\, and the White Wolf\, and accounts of some of Marvel Comics’ most memorable moments\, this first-of-its-kind archival collection is a must-read for fans of all ages. \n\n\n\nBreath of Oblivion \nThe Muungano empire strived and struggled to form a utopia when they split away from old earth. Freeing themselves from the endless wars and oppression of their home planet in order to shape their own futures and create a far-reaching coalition of city-states that stretched from Earth and Mars to Titan. With the wisdom of their ancestors\, the leadership of their elders\, the power and vision of their scientists and warriors they charted a course to a better future. But the old powers could not allow them to thrive and have now set in motion new plots to destroy all that they’ve built. In the fire to come they will face down their greatest struggle yet. Amachi Adisa and other young leaders will contend with each other for the power to galvanize their people and chart the next course for the empire. Fela Buhari and her elite unit will take the fight to regions not seen by human eyes\, but no training will be enough to bring them all home. Stacia Chikeke\, captain of the starship Cypher\, will face down enemies across the stars\, and within her own vessel\, as she searches for the answers that could save them all. \n\n\n\nAn award-winning Afrofuturist and librarian\, Maurice Broaddus had over a hundred short stories published in such places as Lightspeed Magazine\, Black Panther: Tales from Wakanda\, Out There Screaming\, Asimov’s\, Weird Tales\, Magazine of F&SF\, and Uncanny Magazine. With over a dozen novels in print\, his latest include Sweep of Stars\, Breath of Oblivion\, Black Panther: T’Challa Declassified\, Unfadeable\, Pimp My Airship\, & The Usual Suspects.

SUMMARY:Author Reading: Ashleyne Seitz
DESCRIPTION:Join local author Ashleyne Seitz for a reading and signing of her newest adventure book\, “Violindy: A Hilarious and Cozy Heist Novel”!\n\n\nJoin local author Ashleyne Seitz on Saturday\, December 7th from 2-4pm at Indy Reads for a reading and signing of her newest adventure book\, Violindy: A Hilarious and Cozy Heist Novel.  \nAll ages are welcome! \nProceeds from sales at Indy Reads support our English literacy programming for more than 400 adult learners each year. \n\n\n\nViolindy: A Hilarious and Cozy Heist Novel \nCarrie is just an introverted millennial violin player minding her own business when she’s arrested for crimes she didn’t commit. Thrown into the world of thievery and mistaken for a dangerous crime boss\, Carrie has to adapt to her new surroundings while she manages her clinical anxiety. Her only allies are a young boy with the mouth of a sailor\, a giant man who barely speaks\, and a former coworker with unexpected hobbies. Can Carrie lead this ragtag crew on a heist of epic proportions? Or will her panic attacks and social faux pas send her to prison?  \nViolindy is a daring\, funny\, and unexpected caper about adapting and making new friends\, even in the most stressful circumstances.  \n\n\n\nR. Ashleyne Seitz is a writer\, coach\, and goofball who lives in Indianapolis. She loves good stories\, CrossFit\, games\, dark chocolate\, and hanging out with her friends. Since writing is easier for her than speaking\, she chronicles her experiences as a mentally-ill millennial on her weekly blog.
