When a new Mary Kay Andrews novel hits the bookstore shelves, it’s officially the start of summer. The New York Times best-selling author’s newest book, Sunset Beach, is a page turner with mystery, a little romance, and a twist. Join Mary Kay Andrews as she kicks off her national tour with a book launch fundraiser at the DeSoto on Monday, May 6 from 5:30-7:30 PM to benefit Susan G. Komen Coastal Georgia.

E. Shaver Bookseller will be selling copies of Sunset Beach as well as a selection of Mary Kay Andrews’ previous novels, and the author will be greeting fans and signing books at the reception. The first 100 guests will receive a special Mary Kay Andrews swag bag filled with gifts from local businesses, and guests will enjoy appetizers courtesy of the DeSoto, desserts from Wicked Cakes, a cash bar, live music by harpist Ellen Roe Hooper, and sensational door prizes!

“Andrews’ latest annual big beach read combines mystery, family secrets, a hint of romance, and a little bit of home renovation…Andrews’ style ensures that this will be a relaxing read.” —Booklist
