    Book Launch Event for Jungle of Ashes

    Flyer advertising a book launch event for Jungle of Ashes featuring the author, Brynn Barineau, and Lynn Cullen.
    RSVP and join us!

    It’s finally happening! Way back in 2017 while reading Greg Grandin’s Fordlandia I thought, “This would make a great setting for a novel.” Nine years later that novel is finally going to be in the hands of readers. On May 19, Jungle of Ashes launches and we’re going to celebrate at The Book Bird in Avondale, GA. If you’re in the Atlanta area, you’re invited! I’m so honored to have national best selling author Lynn Cullen join me in conversation about Jungle of Ashes, the importance of historical fiction, the writing process and more. The event is free! Just RSVP! No book purchase is necessary. Although we are having a giveaway! The first 30 pre-orders with Book Bird will receive a free audiobook book copy!

    I am so, so proud of this book. I believe it’s timely and important that we discuss its theme of the human cost of unchecked power and empire, be it political or corporate. I love my characters. They say write what you know and I wrote an American girl and a Brazilian boy whose crushing sense of responsibility may or may not be inspired by my own Brazilian boy. (Nobody tell him!) If you can’t make it to the Book Bird on May, I’ve got a few other events around Georgia and South Carolina lined up. There’s also a virtual event with the fabulous audiobook narrator, Carolin Hewitt, so keep an eye out.

    If you love historical fiction set during a time and place you probably never learned about. If you love the hope and tenderness of first love. If you love the trials as young adults come of age in a world they can’t help but question. If you love tales of man versus nature where nature counters every punch man can throw. If you believe the most dangerous people are the ones who can never admit they’re wrong. Jungle of Ashes is a story for you. You can pre-order it at History Through Fiction and support an indie publisher. You can pre-order it through Bookshop.org and support a local indie bookstore of your choice. You can pre-order through Amazon paperback, ebook or audiobook. You can also ask your local library to order a copy.

  • A Wonderful Launch for Jaguars and Other Game

    A Wonderful Launch for Jaguars and Other Game

     

    Thank you! Thank you! Thank you to everyone who came out to the launch of Jaguars and Other Game. We had a wonderful night at Buteco in Grant Park with Brazilian salgados and caipirinhas. We raffled off some Haviannas, Garoto candy and coffee fresh off the plane form Brazil curtesy of my husband. The amazing Kendra, of Bookish in East Atlanta, completely sold out of books. My dear friend and I had a blast doing a Q&A. Nothing makes two former high school thespians happier than being handed microphones and people’s undivided attention.

    It was a wonderful evening and I can now officially say I’m a published author. Jaguars and Other Game is available wherever books are sold! Your local indie bookstore, Barnes&Noble, and of course Amazon. I’ll let the pictures tell the rest of the story this time. I’ve got no more words except a final thank you!

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

  • You’re Invited to the Debut Launch Party! (Also my 40th birthday)

    You’re Invited to the Debut Launch Party! (Also my 40th birthday)

    Mark you calendars. Hire a babysitter. Schedule your Uber. It’s time to celebrate the launch of Jaguars and Other Game! November 22 at 6pm at Buteco Bar in Grant Park!

    This is not your typical book launch. My debut novel comes out four days before my 40th birthday. When your dream comes true, you’re turning 40 and your book is set in Rio de Janeiro, you celebrate! Buteco at the Beacon in Grant park is a Brazilian bar owned by São Paulo native and fixture in the Atlanta live music scene, Rafael Pereira. His team is going to be serving Brazilians salgados (heavy appetizers) such as pão de queijo, coxinhas and quibes. He’s fixing a Bossa Nova playlist for the night, and there’ll be a cash bar with a bar tender who knows how to make a good caipirinha.

    We’re going to have raffles drawn throughout the night with goodies my husband is bringing back from Brazil especially for the party. I’ll do a short Q&A but mostly we’re going to be eating and mingling. Oh, and there will be cake. It’s a birthday too.

    Anyone who pre-ordered a copy for pick-up will be able to get their books at the party. I’ll have some copies available for sale at the event.

    You can also pre-order from any of the many indie bookstores across Atlanta. Want to pop in and say hi to Kendra at Bookish? Want to pick-up your copy at Charis Books? Want to support Virginia Highland Books? Would you prefer to buy from Little Shop of Stories? You can order your copy of Jaguars and Other Game from any of these stores.

    Of course, eBooks are available from Amazon or Barnes&Noble. Thank you so much to my friends and family in Brazil, France, Croatia and around the world who have already ordered their eBooks. I know there are purists who only want print books, but eBooks make stories accessible on a global scale. When I lived in Brazil, I got all my books through Kindle, so I don’t throw shade on eBooks.

    I’m so excited for people to finally hold a copy of Jaguars and Other Game. I hope to see lots of you on November 22 at Buteco. Come support debut author and a neighborhood bar. It’s going to be a lot of the Brazilian salgados will be delicious!

    See you on the 22nd!
