EVENTS
📣 A NIGHT WITH KATE FAGAN !!📣
Feb 1 Update: Kate’s West Coast tour is being rescheduled again due to ongoing issues related to travel and events in the California region subsequent to the wild fires in LA. We will update you on the new date ASAP and apologize for the date change!
Everyone’s longtime fave ESPN & ESPNW sports reporter (+ WBB player, and Emmy-winning NY Times #1 best selling author) Kate Fagan is flying to Seatown from NYC to read to us. Her debut novel, The Three Lives of Kate Cay is one of the most anticipated novels of 2025 and you'll be one of the first to get a copy and hear why it’s what everyone’s talking about.
Kate also happens to be one of the funnier women on the planet and she’ll be chatting with our friend and fellow NYT best selling and beloved Seattle author (and amazing soup maker) Laurie Frankel 👏 Don’t miss this special night, get your long awaited Kate autograph, and kick off that 2025 reading list right ✅
Join us for dinner and a conversation with Kate as she discusses The Three Lives of Kate Cay. This electric, voice-driven debut novel about an elusive bestselling author who decides to finally confess her true identity after years of hiding from her past. It's all the things we love: A queer love story, but also best friend story, a making-life-something-better inspo, a book within a book, an eloquent, can't-put-it-down read.
Early seating for dinner & drinks at 6:30pm. Author conversation begins at 7:30pm. Complimentary entry with dinner, drink, and autographed book.
