The Silver Sands Resort and Hotel will host an Author Showcase featuring Wendy Byard, the author of the new suspense novel "Devil in the Dunes" set in West Michigan, Sept. 6-7. Weather permitting, the showcase will take place in front of the hotel (or inside if needed) beginning at 1 p.m. The day promises several events so people can learn more about this Michigan crime story that features Little Sable Point Lighthouse on its cover.
On Saturday, September 6, the Author Showcase includes a book signing/meet and greet from 1–4 p.m.; a spooky reading from the novel at 4 PM; Q & A Session at 4:30 PM; and raffle prize giveaway – a signed print of an original watercolor painting of Little Sable Point Lighthouse – at 5 p.m. Later, at sunset on the Silver Sands Resort Beach, Byard will give another spooky reading from her mystery novel. The event provides snacks and drinks and free mini prints of the raffle prize painting.
“I’m beyond excited to be in the first Author Showcase at Silver Sands Hotel,” Byard said. “Truly humbled. Everyone at Silver Sands is passionate about what they do, and they want to provide unique experiences for the community and their guests. I also love that the event is just down the road from the historic lighthouse that graces my novel’s cover!”
