Kevin Dickson Author Event - Vampire State Series

Join us at Lark & Owl Booksellers to celebrate Kevin Dickson's thrilling vampire trilogy, Vampire State. Kevin will be in conversation with Ali Hazelwood, author of MATE.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Kevin Dickson’s Vampire State series is a love letter to gothic horror, New York City, human frailty, love and loss, the magic of women and the enduring power of friendship.

Meet Sara, Upper West Side New York therapist by day, leader of a global all-female no-kill vampire society by night. Already burned out after enforcing five centuries of peace, a series of shocking accidents has set Sara on a path of self-destruction – and into the arms of Silas, a depressed loner who also happens to be her patient. As tensions in the vampire world and her outside life begin to overlap and blur, Sara finds herself falling deeper in love, at the risk of everything she holds dearest – including her immortality.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Kevin Dickson grew up in his native Australia. He became an entertainment journalist and worked his way up to being the TV Critic for the national newspaper, The Australian. Moving to Los Angeles in the late 90s, Dickson eventually ended up working for a start-up tabloid called In Touch. Over the next fourteen years, Dickson covered the entertainment world from both sides of the fence - as a reporter and as a friend and confidante to some of Hollywood's most scandalous names. After ghost-writing a biography for Real Housewife Caroline Manzo, he left the tabloid world and formed a punk band called The Chew Toys that toured and recorded one well-received album. He put down the guitar to work on the Los Angeles Times bestseller Blind Item and its sequel Guilty Pleasure. Dickson is synesthetic, globophobic and outdoorsy. He currently lives in Los Angeles with his husband and three wonderful dogs and one annoying parrot.

ABOUT THE MODERATOR: Ali Hazelwood is the #1 New York Times Bestselling author of Love, Theoretically and The Love Hypothesis, as well as a writer of peer-reviewed articles about brain science, in which no one makes out and the ever after is not always happy. Originally from Italy, she lived in Germany and Japan before moving to the US to pursue a PhD in neuroscience. When Ali is not at work, she can be found crocheting, eating cake pops, or watching sci-fi movies with her three feline overlords (and her slightly-less-feline husband).
