We hope you’ll join us to celebrate the launch of Kimmery Martin’s debut novel, Queen of Hearts. 

Kimmery is a doctor, book reviewer, interviewer, traveler, and obsessive reader. Her debut novel, The Queen of Hearts, was a huge hit among three of her friends (lucky friends!) before being picked up by Penguin Random House. Kimmery lives in Charlotte with her husband, three children, and the world's most obstinate dog. You can read more of her writing, including travelogues, book reviews, and social commentary at www.kimmerymartin.com. Kimmery has been a longtime supporter of the Library Foundation and we’re excited to help her launch Queen of Hearts.

Join us for conversation with Kimmery, moderated by local author and humorist Tracy Curtis. Enjoy wine and light bites in our newly renovated Morrison Regional Library. Park Road Books will sell Kimmery's book before and after the program. The evening is free and open to the public. Seating is limited so an RSVP is required.

Here's what others have to say about her novel:
