Join us at Old Firehouse Books as we welcome romance author Jessica Leigh for a book signing! Jessica will be in store on June 6th from 1:00-2:00 PM to chat with customers and sign copies of her books. Stop by to grab your next romance read set in the haunted woods of Appalachia, or begin the Chronicles of the Tuatha where sleeping power begins to wake. All titles will be available for purchase the day of the event.

About The Hidden Gods of Appalachia:

Mama always said, "Don’t fly too far or you may forget where your nest is.”
So, naturally, I flew thousands of miles away—because when there’s nothing left in the nest, what else is there to do?

After her death, I couldn’t sit still.

And when my little brother Daniel disappeared two years later, I knew there was nothing left for me in North Carolina.
Oregon took me in, as well as I could’ve hoped for a lonely girl from Appalachia who showed up with only a single suitcase and the hollow ache that comes with a family that’s fallen apart.

But that was ten years ago.

Now, a random phone call has left me with more questions than answers.
A distant aunt’s passing has necessitated my return home to handle her final affairs, as I’ve been named her last living relative.

But there's more. . .

People are vanishing into the dense woods of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Strange sigils are being found all along the Parkway.
. . .And there's a private detective with a dangerous magnetism, who thinks I might be the only one able to help him work out why.

Home is nearly unrecognizable.
Industry and development have crept into the heart of something ancient, and it feels as though the old gods are angry. . .

About Jessica Leigh:

Jessica Leigh is a folkloric romance author. Her stories draw from the eerie side of legends and lore—tales of love, loss, and the kind of magic that never really dies. She loves exploring where myth meets emotion, and how ancient tales can still speak to us today.

When she’s not writing, you can find her perusing the bookstore with her husband, soaking in a Colorado sunset, or commuting to her 9-5, dreaming up new stories on
the train.
