Join us for another installment of Novel Night, a monthly celebration of all things prose! Here’s how it works: published authors will read from their books and there’ll be an audience Q & A. Also worth noting: we’re offering 20% OFF ALL FICTION TITLES during Novel Night (from 6pm till closing).

This month’s Novel Night authors are Tracey S. Phillips and Josephine Blacke.

Tracey S. Phillips will read from her debut thriller, Best Kept Secrets, and Josephine Blacke will read from her suspenseful second novel Tia.

When Fay Ramsey is found dead, Morgan Jewell’s entire world crumbles. Years later, Morgan, now a homicide detective, is still haunted by the abrupt end to her best friend’s life, but she has failed to put the crooked puzzle pieces together. Nothing makes sense. The leads have run dry. She requests access to the scene of a murder: a woman whose body is left mangled. It’s too similar to Fay’s to ignore. Now the old memories begin to surface. Fay held a secret in those final days. What got her killed? What was her secret?

Tracey S. Phillips is a serial artist. For the daughter of an artist and granddaughter of a pianist, playing music and creating art are a way of life. She entered college as a fashion model and musician. She married her best friend and became the mother of two grown children. She lives in Madison, Wisconsin with her husband and two dogs. Psychological thrillers are her love and female characters drive her stories. Best Kept Secrets is her debut novel released by Crooked Lane Books. The manuscript won a Hugh Holton award in 2018.

Josephine Blacke is an indie author and freelance writer living in Austin, Texas. Tia is her second novel. Her debut novel Mama’s Boy is available in paperback and e-book. Previous publications include Eat & Drink Austin, a local foodie magazine. Josephine is the proud mother of three adults, a cat named Princess Buttercup, and an old Rottweiler named Fat Hank.
