Christina Dodd- Thus With A Kiss I Die BOOK LAUNCH! @ Village Books in Fairhaven

Join Village Books in celebrating New York Times bestselling author Christina Dodd’s next book in her Daughter of Montague series, Thus with a Kiss I Die!

The delightfully irreverent eldest daughter of the not-so-ill-fated Romeo and Juliet returns to sleuth another day in fair Verona, in this hugely entertaining historical mystery series with a refreshingly bold premise.

Christina Dodd is a New York Times bestselling author whose suspense, paranormal, historical, and mystery novels have been translated into 30 languages and sold more than 15 million copies in print. 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. She lives with her family in the Pacific Northwest, where her 700 lavender plants share the yard with her husband’s various “Big Projects,” including a treehouse, zipline, and their very own Stonehenge. Enter Christina’s worlds and join her mailing list for humor, book news and entertainment (yes, she’s the proud author with the infamous three-armed cover) at ChristinaDodd.com.

Sensory Workshop w/ Northwest Natura: Tree and Flower Identification @ Private Land
Aug 2 @ 1:00 pm – 4:00 pm
Sensory Workshop w/ Northwest Natura: Tree and Flower Identification @ Private Land

Come take a walk in a beautiful forest to identify trees and flowers by not only their features, but they’re textures and aromas. You do not need your vision to get to know the trees and flowers, as you’ll find in this unique course led by Salish Sea Naturalist and botanist, Jazmen Yoder.

In this sensory-focused course we’ll spend the day immersed in riverside habitat with our feet in the cool waters of Boulder Creek while we identify different flowers and trees by their unique effects on our senses.

If you are looking for a mental health day this one is designed to be slow-paced and meditative.

If you are vision impaired, this is a great class to come to but please beware that the forest has uneven ground. Jazmen can assist you if necessary. Inform Norhwest Natura of special needs or requests.
