Stevenson with Isabel Sterling DESCRIPTION:Join us to celebrate Behooved on pub-day! Pre-order now for stickers\, a bookmark\, and a bookplate! \nAbout the Book: A charming slow-burn romantasy featuring a duty-bound noblewoman with a chronic illness\, a prince who would rather be in a library than on a throne\, and a magical ride through a world of cozy enchantment \nBianca knows her duty comes before her heart. So when the threat of war looms\, she agrees to marry the neighboring kingdom’s heir. But not all royal weddings are a fairytale\, and Prince Aric\, Bianca’s betrothed\, is cold\, aloof\, and seems to hate her on sight. \nTo make matters worse\, on their wedding night\, an assassination attempt goes awry—leaving Aric magically transformed into a horse. Bianca does what any bride in this situation would do: she mounts her new husband and rides away to safety. \nSunset returns Aric to human form\, but they soon discover the assassination attempt is part of a larger plot against the throne. Worse\, Bianca has been framed for Aric’s murder\, and she’s now saddled with a husband who is a horse by day and a frustratingly attractive man by night. \nAs an unexpected romance begins galloping away with their hearts\, Bianca and Aric must rely on each other to unravel the curse and save the throne. \nM. Stevenson is a writer\, educator\, and naturalist with degrees from Brown University (B.A.\, Geology-Biology) and the University of Idaho (M.Ed.\, Environmental Education). An avid swing dancer\, she’s often found dancing lindy hop or wandering the woods talking to plants and birds. She is a dual US/Irish citizen and is based in the Fingerlakes region of New York.

This is rare and beautiful in art. We can step into these quiet spaces.“I am inspired by faded memories\, half understood moods\, images and ideas seen out of the corner of one’s eye”\nPlease join us Saturday May24th to meet Tim and see this vibrant exhibition. Enjoy refreshments and fine conversation on a spring afternoon. 2 -5 pm URL:https://www.downtownithaca.com/event/eidolon-yacht-paintings-by-tim-merrick/ CATEGORIES:Featured ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.downtownithaca.com/wp-content/uploads/Eidolon_Yacht.jpeg ORGANIZER;CN="Kitchen Theatre Company":MAILTO:info@kitchentheatre.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20250524T170000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20250524T170000 DTSTAMP:20260422T050930 CREATED:20250417T212947Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250417T212947Z UID:10004608-1748106000-1748106000@www.downtownithaca.com SUMMARY:Adults Game Night!
