Weslynde: Book Launch and Benefit
Join local author Ron Terbush as he presents his debut novel, Weslynde. On Thursday, November 13th, grab your signed copy of Weslynde and join us at the Center to hear a section of the book and meet the author! A ticket includes a signed copy of Weslynde and attendance to the author's event, and all proceeds benefit The Frederick Center. ABOUT WESLYNDE: Throughout the history of Weslynde, if twins were born to a royal family, catastrophe always followed. To prevent this from ever happening again, it was decreed that only the strongest twin survive. But when the king's consort discovers she carries two babies, she defies the law and secretly spirits one newborn away, ensuring both will live. An epic journey of discovery, loss, and redemption; mixed in with a healthy dose of magic, Weslynde weaves a spell that will leave you breathless and amazed. We hope to see you as we welcome Ron to The Frederick Center to celebrate a local queer author's debut!
