Summer Reads: Amiee Gibbs

Amiee Gibbs grew up in rural Maryland, where she still lives on an allegedly haunted road but has dreams of running away to Ireland. She has worked for Penguin Random House for 13 years as a Sales Manager for Independent bookstores across New England, New York, and the West Coast. Her first novel, The Carnivale of Curiosities, is a dazzling gothic tale of Faustian bargains, jealousy, and murder set in a spectacular circus, where star-crossed lovers' destinies are forged at an unexpected price. Colson Whitehead calls the novel "A wonderfully imagined and fiendishly clever debut." Books will be available for purchase and signing.
