Meet the Author

Thursday, September 12, 3 p.m. - 4 p.m. in the Community Room 

Brianna Labuskes is a USA Today, Wall Street Journal and Washington Post best-selling author, who writes historical fiction and psychological thrillers. She got her start in romance and still adores swoon-worthy meet-cutes—you can find that strong sense of relationship-building in all of Bri’s work. Much of her historical fiction work focuses on the importance of books, the power the written word has to create and strengthen community bonds, and of course, the wonders of libraries. Visit her website: briannalabuskes.com.
