SUMMARY:Author Talk: Cheri Radke
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an evening to hear about Cheri Radke’s debut novel\, An Accident of Dragons! \nAbout the Author \nCheri Radke has been a librarian\, a bookseller\, and an academic coordinator. She studied Linguistics at New York University and went on to earn a Masters in Library and Information Science from Kent State University. She lives in Woodland\, California and can be found on social media @cheriradke. \nAbout the Book \nAn unlikely lord finally meets a problem he can’t flirt his way out of in this adventurous and light-hearted queer cozy fantasy featuring pirates\, dragons\, kidnapping\, tea\, and other high-fantasy delights for readers of Rebecca Thorne\, TJ Klune\, Sarah Beth Durst\, and Travis Baldree. \nIn theory\, the dragoness of Summer can make any resident on her island the ruler\, if the previous Lord Summer is so careless as to die without an heir. In practice\, absolutely no one expected her to choose Teddy\, the last lord’s middle-aged fancy man. With his quick wit\, heaps of charisma\, and excellent dress sense\, Teddy brings plenty of virtues to his new role\, but statecraft\, pedigree\, and decorum are not among them. That’s all right: he’s done his duty to the island\, and his five-year-old daughter\, Zinnia\, will make a brilliant Lady Summer when her time comes. \nExcept when a ship of desperate mainlander thieves arrives\, Zinnia’s caught in the fracas and taken hostage. Teddy jumps into the rescue mission without delay\, even though his days of adventures on the mainland are long buried with his lover. But his sailors have never seen their destination\, and worse\, the hard-liner admiral who leads them thinks Teddy’s a worthless dandy. Against a conniving robber baron\, a sorceress who’s tamed her own dragon\, and ordinary people with everything to lose\, the crew faces terrible odds. But with all he loves in danger\, Teddy must prove there’s more to him than he’d ever intended to show. \n
