An Evening with Sarah Beth Durst & Venessa Vida Kelley — The Enchanted Greenhouse

Join us for a cozy summer evening with New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Sarah Beth Durst as we celebrate the release of The Enchanted Greenhouse — a standalone cozy fantasy romance filled with singing flowers, magical greenhouses, and the sweet promise of new beginnings.
​
We’re delighted to welcome New York Times bestselling author Sarah Beth Durst to Four Seasons Books to celebrate the release of her latest cozy fantasy, The Enchanted Greenhouse—a heartwarming standalone novel about a lonely librarian, a grumpy gardener, and a magical island full of singing flowers, sentient plants, and love waiting to bloom.
Joining Sarah in conversation will be Venessa Vida Kelley, debut author and illustrator of When the Tides Held the Moon, a queer cozy historical romantasy set in 1911 Coney Island, already earning starred reviews from Publishers Weekly and Library Journal. Together, they’ll discuss writing magic into everyday life, cozy worldbuilding, and the power of found family and second chances.
Event Highlights:Cozy conversation between two brilliant cozy fantasy authors
