Local book lovers are in for a treat as the Friends of Round Rock Public Library welcome a special guest to their November General Membership Meeting and Program. According to an announcement from the City of Round Rock, bestselling author Julia London will be gracing the meeting with her presence, sharing insights and experiences from her successful writing career. The event is scheduled for 6:30-7:30pm in Meeting Rooms A&B on the first floor of the library, located at 200 E. Liberty Avenue, Round Rock, Texas 78664.

For those looking to add a signed copy of London's work to their collection, the neighboring bookstore, Lark and Owl, will be on hand selling her book "Nice Work, Nora November." In a commendable gesture of support, 10% of these sales will benefit the Friends group – a nonprofit dedicated to enhancing library programs. Attendees are reminded to register prior to the event, doing so through the library's website.

Julia London has a substantial body of work that has earned her a devoted following and critical acclaim. London is known for her gripping historical romances set against the rich backdrops of Scotland and England, as well as her contemporary romances such as "You Lucky Dog" and "It Started with a Dog." The symmetry of her narrative and the characters wrought with such clear strokes of realism have garnered her the RT Bookclub Award for Best Historical Romance and she has been a six-time finalist for the RITA award for excellence in romantic fiction, solidifying her status as a formidable voice in the genre.

The library's announcement underscores London's prolific output, noting that she is the author of more than sixty novels crossing various genres. These include women’s fiction titles and the well-received Pine River series. London's visit not only promises to be an engaging experience for literary enthusiasts but also serves as an opportunity to support the vital role that libraries and local bookstores play within the community.
