We've been planning this event since before the book was written and it's finally here!!!

Kristin is a great friend of Fountain and we can't wait to celebrate her new success with a throw down party!

(Is it appropriate to have a throw down Bible party? Well, we don't know...but we're doing it anyway. Join us!)

A note from Kelly Justice, owner of the Fountain:

I adore this book and this author. If you're looking for a great night out with your book club, start planning now.

This book is published by the same people who brought you Water for Elephants. Need I say more?

This is Robert's second visit with us and he does a wonderful program. So get your book club together and bring them out, or just bring yourself and enjoy a great evening with a superb author at the top of his craft.

From The Washington Post: "Columbia Pictures has already grabbed the rights for what could be an inflammable movie." Read the review in full here.

“Astonishing, complex, beautifully written, and brilliant, A Reliable Wifeis a nearly-forensic look at love in all its incarnations, with all itsdamages, deceptions, and obsessions, run through with points of lightand pinned with ruinous truths.”—Sara Gruen, author of Water for Elephants

Enough...put it on your calendar already.

Wake us up! We're dreaming!

Indeed, this is some kind of Richmond Author Dream Team creation. In our most ardent fantasies we couldn't have come up with a collection like this.

Dennis Danvers, Dean King, Howard Owen, Meagan Saunders, and Anne Thomas Soffee are all going to be here! Come meet them!

Thanks to editors:

Tom De Haven is the author of seventeen books, including Freaks' Amour, Sunburn Lake, It's Superman! and the Derby Dugan trilogy of novels.

wit, razor-sharp patter and quick-on-her-feet manner have made her one
of the most important and controversial figures in the women's movement
since before it was called that... important for her insight and
catalytic energy to bring people together and get things done."
— Oakland Express

"Dubbed
'the original Riot Grrrl...still a hellraiser, she keeps spreading
affirmation and empowerment to all women (and even men, if they can
take it)"
