Author Tea with Kate Fox

The author reads from her recently released novel "Succubus," followed by a conversation with Jessica Pearce Rotondi. Tea and cookies served at 2:45 pm, book signing to follow.

About the Books (from the publisher): 

Tempest Dunlap loves romance novels, but she knows she’ll never have her own happily-ever-after. She is a sweatpants-wearing doula who homeschools her seven-year-old niece in suburban New Jersey. Unfortunately, she’s also a succubus: Every man she’s ever kissed has died. But Tempest is a good person who never intended to be a murderer, so she’s sworn off love forever.

Then she meets Joel Tav, a gorgeous, gentle doctor who makes celibacy feel impossible. Tempest knows she can’t touch him—or tell him his brother was the last man she dated and accidentally killed.

Meanwhile, a vigilante is hunting people with dark powers, and Tempest is next. Should she keep hiding in her safe, lonely life, or should she embrace the darkness she fears and risk the ultimate forbidden romance?

About the Author: 

Kate Fox lives in an old house in an old town in the universally admired state of New Jersey, where she homeschools her daughters and looks for magic in mundane places. She once wrote a popular blog and related essays that appeared places like "Salon," "Slate," and "Jezebel," and in magazines like "Cosmopolitan," "Self," and "Women’s Health." An essay of hers about how hot Peter Dinklage is appeared in Oxford University Press. She has two floofy cats, as befits a writer. Enemies to lovers is her favorite trope, as long as they’re really enemies. "Succubus" is her publishing debut.
