Meet K.E. Monteith!


About this Event

Local author K.E. Monteith will be here on June 30th to sign her books including the new one, out this summer!

BACK WHEN WE FAKED IT

Oliva Lewis' life has not ended up like she wanted. She was supposed to be a big-time journalist, instead, she's living in her parent's basement at 28. She can track everything that's gone wrong back to the one time she didn't follow her 10-year life plan. When she fake-dated the new-in-town bad boy, Dennis Summers. And it didn't end like the movies.
Just when Olivia's getting back on track to follow her dreams, Dennis comes back to town. To stay.
But why should that matter? So what if he confessed he had feelings for her back then? So what if everyone constantly asks when they're getting back together? So what if when Dennis tries to open a shop, the owner says she only rents to folks with strong connections to the town so he says he's dating Olivia? So what if they have to fake date again? Oliva's got the perfect plan to achieve her dreams. And nothing, not even a charming, grumbly man is going to change her mind.

STRIKE TO BURN

Zoey Riggs had her suspicions about her high school sweetheart. But she didn't think those suspicions would be confirmed in the ER on New Year's Eve after her boyfriend wrecked her vintage Corvette... while getting a blow job. Now she's alone and ... a little unhinged.
On the other hand, Stephen Gill was supposed to take a break from programming a new GPS. Instead, he took the street view car out for a cross-country road trip to fill in their dead spaces. But one deer in his headlights and the car is wrecked. And what do you do when you've had a shit day? You get drunk at the restaurant next door to the mechanic, Zoey's shop.
With nowhere else to put her new, drunk client, Zoey lets Stephen crash at her place. And when her ex shows up the next morning, Stephen tries to help out. By pretending to be her boyfriend. And that sparks an idea. Zoey promises to get her revenge by making her ex's life a living hell, beating him at a drag race, and rubbing her new (fake) man in his face. And Stephen happily tags along, whether it's a road trip in a stolen car, breaking into the newspaper office, or tagging the whole town with scandalous bumper stickers.
But the fun can only last for so long. So what happens when Zoey admits she needs to move on and Stephen's car is back up in running?
