You can buy signed books (by bookplate) by Camilla from Aesop's Fable. Just write that you would like the book signed in the notes section at checkout.
About the book:
I am a perfectly functional adult.
So why is it so hard to get a date? When my father decided last year that I wouldn’t receive my inheritance until I am in a stable relationship, I let the ever-important deadline slip through the cracks.
Why bother dating, when I can read, right? Wrong.
Now, I have less than two months to find love if I’m going to inherit my cottage home, and even with a stack of self-help books a mile high, things are not looking good. The only man who’s graced me with more than five minutes of his attention is a giant tattooed bar owner.
Sure, he’s the most beautiful man I’ve ever seen. And, sure, he keeps appearing in my life. And…sure…when we enter into a fake/practice dating collaboration, it seems an awful lot like the start of a rom-com, but there’s no way our little stint turns into anything else.
I absolutely refuse to date anyone who drinks. He may be the gentlest grump now, but I know what alcohol does to people, and I am not looking for someone I think I can trust to hurt me again.
No matter what, follow point #1 on my outline: Do NOT fall in love.
About Camilla:
Camilla Evergreen is an alias of USA Today bestselling author Anne Stryker. Originally intended as a dumping ground for all things lacking fantasy, Camilla/Anne came to the shocking discovery that writing sarcastic, chaotic romcoms full of quippy heroines and adoring heroes has a kick to it.
Camilla/Anne’s neurodivergent tendencies leave her hyperfocused on writing sweet and sassy romances from dawn till dusk and lending whatever her current creative obsessions are to her characters. From arranged marriages to falling for the boss, there’s lots of love to go around.

The History of Emancipation & Juneteenth is an exciting and engaging slide presentation which will touch on the following topics: the abolitionist movement, the election of Abraham Lincoln, Freemont’s Emancipation, Hunter’s Emancipation, and the General Benjamin Butler’s orders on “Contraband of War.” The Emancipation Proclamation itself; the timing of it, the politics of it and who was actually freed by it. The gradual emancipation of slaves by Federal Troops as they conquered the different Confederate states, the end of the war and the movement of troops into Texas and the famous issuing of General Order No. 3 on June 19th, 1865 at Galveston Texas. And, finally how Juneteenth went from a local Galveston Texas celebration to a national holiday.

The Fascinating Story of Where our Vegetables Came From: What do you know about the vegetables you eat? What is an heirloom tomato? Does it look like the original wild tomato? What group of people were responsible for breeding 4 major food crops? What popular vegetables were bred from kale? Where did sweet onions originate? Eggplant? Peas and beans? Watermelon? Bonnie will talk about the fascinating origins of the vegetables we eat each day: where they originated and what they looked like when they grew in the wild before people started breeding them for better yields and flavors.
Bonnie Power has been a Massachusetts Master Gardener since 2016 (now a Lifetime MG) and member of the MMGA Speakers Bureau since 2018…and a serious outdoor/indoor gardener most of her life. Curious and research-oriented by nature, she has many horticultural interests and areas of expertise. Bonnie holds both a bachelor’s and a master’s degree in Zoology, which informs her perspective on the management of garden insects. She is a member of the MGA Soil pH Testing team and also volunteer guide at Garden in the Woods, a Native Plant Trust botanical garden in Framingham. She learned to grow vegetables as a child from her father, and flowers and houseplants from her mother. Early in her marriage her father-in-law provided her first lessons in organic gardening. At home in Marlborough, Bonnie grows a variety of vegetables and ornamentals (with a bias for natives).
