Ann Aguirre in Conversation with Sarah Hawley- I Think I'm in Love with an Alien: BOOK LAUNCH PARTY! @ Village Books in Fairhaven

Join Village Books in celebrating New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Ann Aguirre newest book, I Think I’m in Love with an Alien!

Galaxy Quest meets Roswell in this quirky sci-fi rom-com from New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Ann Aguirre.

He’s stranded. He’s desperate. He’s not looking for love.

Alien Tamzir Jaarn, a.k.a. Seeker, is paying the price for risking an illicit holiday on an interdicted planet. His ride off-world never showed, and he’s been stranded on Earth for nearly a year. His gear is breaking down, food is becoming a problem, and if his camouflage unit fritzes, he’ll wind up in a government lab.

But he’s met some cool humans online, and they’ve invited him to the biggest space-themed convention around. Why not make memories with them while he figures out how to get home?

Space Con or bust!

She’s nerdy. She’s flirty. She’s ready for romance.

Jennette Hammond is an endearing weirdo, voted most likely to bang an alien in high school. Her house is full of gray man collectibles, adorable tentacle monsters, and yes, in college, she volunteered for a SETI-type program. Not that she’s ever had any close encounters of the sexy, alien kind. Heck, she’s never even been able to convince anyone to attend Space Con.

But that’s about to change. Finally, she has online friends who have agreed to go, and it will be a romp to remember—and she’ll finally put a face to the name of her longtime crush, Seeker.

When alien meets adorkable, they’re destined for an out-of-this-world affair…
New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Ann Aguirre has been a clown, a clerk, a savior of stray kittens, and a voice actress, not necessarily in that order. She loves video games, Korean dramas, music, dogs and cats, and staring at the sea. Though she writes all kinds of genre fiction, she has a major soft spot for a happily ever after.

Sarah Hawley is the USA Today bestselling author of Servant of Earth and the Glimmer Falls series. She has an MA in archaeology and has excavated at an Inca site in Chile, a Bronze Age palace in Turkey, and a medieval abbey in England. When not dreaming up whimsical love stories, she can be found reading, dancing, or cuddling her two cats.

Praised for her “brilliantly etched characters, polished writing, and unexpected flashes of sharp humor that are pure Dodd” (Booklist), her award-winning books have landed on numerous Best of the Year lists and, much to her mother’s delight, Dodd was once a clue in the Los Angeles Times crossword puzzle.
