Event Details

Join us to celebrate the launch of A Place Between Dreams ✨

A Place Between Dreams is the debut novel by Jess Munday. It is a psychological thriller set in San Francisco about one young man’s attempt to run from himself—his pain, his mistakes, and his trauma—escaping into a fabricated reality of dreams and hallucinations, only to find that the truth always catching up to him.

🥂We’ll be partying it up at Curio in San Francisco’s Mission District to celebrate the publication. Those who buy the book at the event will get a free drink ticket. Light snacks will be provided as well.

Books will be on sale in person. If you’re joining us live, wait to buy a book at the event as these will be discounted from the Amazon price.

Details:
Recommend taking BART (get off at 16th St.)
🅿️ There is also paid parking available at the Mission Bartlett Garage (21st St.)
Dressy casual = Jeans, collared shirts or blouses. Skirts or dresses are great too. Think something you’d wear to a nice dinner.
There will be music, a reading, and maybe even a speech?? We’ll see!
