Celebrate the book birthday of local author J.M. Lee's young adult debut, The Nightland Express, along with your friends at Red Balloon Bookshop!
In antebellum America, two teens bury their secrets and join the historic Pony Express, soon discovering that the mortal world is not the only one on the brink of war. Saddle up for a great evening at Red Balloon, where we're so excited to hear J.M. Lee share all about The Nightland Express and the writing life with fellow author H.M. Bouwman! Following the talk, guests will have a chance to ask questions and have their books signed.

Additional books will be available for purchase the night of the event. Face coverings are required of all guests for the duration of this event, and food and drink are not allowed.
