SUMMARY:Celebrate the Launch of Whistling Women and Crowing Hens with Author Melora Fern in Hillsborough, NC
DESCRIPTION:Join Melora Fern, author of new Sibylline Digital First novel Whistling Women and Crowing Hens at Hillsborough Bakeshop on May 16th for her debut novel book launch! There will be books for sale, a signing, and refreshments along with a reading and giveaways!\nSpace is limited, so RSVP is required! To RSVP, please email Melora at melorafern@gmail.com\nEVENT INFORMATION:\nMay 16th – 5:30pm-7:30pm\nHillsborough Bakeshop\n110 S Churton St.\nHillsborough, NC 27278\nAbout Whistling Women and Crowing Hens:\nTo escape her strait-laced overbearing sister, Birdie Stauffer auditions for the all-female Versatile Quintet, Chautauqua circuit’s opening act. Through this train-traveling roadshow she experiences the tumultuous 1920’s, a modern era of shocking flappers and smuggled whiskey, with the camaraderie of newfound friends. Her exceptional gift of concert whistling entertains more than songbirds as she gains national notoriety and she’s soon entangled in two romantic relationships— one with a dapper circuit manager, the other her fellow pianist. Accompanied by four other musicians⎯a slang slinging flapper, a confident girl-next-door, a tight-lipped loner, and a virtuoso sapphic⎯and following a series of traumatic events, Birdie discovers even the best relationships can be filled with misunderstandings. As she learns to trust her intuition, she finds it may cost her love interests, her sister, and maybe even herself.\nAbout Melora Fern:\nThe only constant in life is change—so after multiple doozies, Melora Fern moved from Texas to North Carolina to become herself. Growing up a perpetual new kid she persevered by making-up stories and learned to hone that skill into writing fiction. As a recovering CPA, she now counts treasures and words discovered on her daily hikes. Turning the pages of her grandmother’s Chautauqua scrapbook has opened infinite research rabbit-holes and ignited her debut historical fiction. In addition to all there is with writing, she enjoys her rescue cats, gardening, and losing herself in novels of all genres.\n
