Our first party host is the lovely and charming Kristy Woodson Harvey. She's celebrating her debut novel, Dear Carolina, and has an event you won't want to miss!
Melissa A just finished Dear Carolina this past week and enjoyed the sweet and light-hearted story about how one person can never have too many people who love them. If you're a fan of Beth Hoffman's novels, give Kristy a try. She won't disappoint!
Kristy lives in North Carolina and graduated from UNC. She spends her free time in Beaufort with her husband and their two year-old son. She blogs over at Design Chic about creating a beautiful home, and is proud to now call herself an author, as well. You can find out more about Kristy at her website, Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.
Stop on over to Kristy's party. TWO "guests" from the US will be able to take home copies of Dear Carolina!
Characters you will also get to meet:
Lucy Peterson from The Dog Year, Grenady and Cade from What I Remember Most, Destiny from Adria Cimino’s Close to Destiny (she’ll bring champagne as a hostess gift!), Amy Reichert's Chef Lou from The Coincidence of Coconut Cake will be catering and will bring along Al and John, Helen from Sonja Yoerg’s House Broken, Sarah from Katie Moretti’s Thought I Knew You, Lanie and Beth from Amy Sue Nathan’s The Glass Wives (They’ll drag Evie along too!). We’ll let guests bring friends too. It will be that kind of party!
The theme:
It will be a joint launch party for Khaki’s new interior design book and Jodi’s new cookbook. Maybe a “Desserts, Decor and Dancing” theme!
The specialty beverage:
The Strawberry Jam-tini. Jodi is all about making jam, and it’s strawberry season right now! Yum!
What time?
Nighttime! Khaki loves a black tie event, so we’ll be pulling out all the stops for this one!
Special musical guest:
The Chairmen of the Board, a legendary shag band, will be playing all night long! They did write the song “Carolina Girls,” Carolina’s namesake, after all! The ladies can kick off their heels and dance all night!
Location:
Outdoors, please! Preferably somewhere by the ocean, just like Dear Carolina’s cover.
Thanks to Kristy for celebrating with us and sharing her book with our readers!

ReplyDeleteI love a little Vodka, Midori, and tonic water with a garnish of honeydew melon. I think I'd go simple with the name and just call in a Melon tonic.
ReplyDeleteI've never created a drink before. Hmmm. How about pureeing a cup of frozen berries such as strawberries and raspberries, dilute with some iced tea, drizzle a little honey, add a splash of vodka and call it the River City Iced Tea.
