Author Talk & Signing | Kalyn Josephson

Join us at Shelf Indulgence for an enchanting morning with Kalyn Josephson, New York Times bestselling author and indie bookstore owner, as we celebrate her adult fantasy debut, The Library of Amorlin.

Full of magical creatures, ecological magic, slow-burn romantic tension, and twisty long cons, The Library of Amorlin follows a brilliant former con artist tasked with infiltrating the most powerful magical institution in the realm—only to find herself tangled in forbidden secrets, monstrous magic, and a dangerously compelling librarian. Blending light academia vibes with sharp political stakes, this romantasy explores healing from trauma, reclaiming wonder, and choosing to live for yourself.

Event Format:
• 45-minute moderated conversation
• 15-minute audience Q&A
• Book signing to follow

We’ll discuss Kalyn’s transition into adult fantasy, the ecological inspiration behind her magical creatures, and the heart of this story: stories as survival, libraries as sanctuary, and choosing your own future.

✨ Deluxe Limited-Edition Hardcovers will be available while supplies last, featuring stenciled edges, foil stamping, illustrated endpapers, a map insert, and exclusive interior design.

Please note: As this event takes place during release week (on sale March 3), from-home copies will not be permitted for signing. We kindly ask that books be purchased through Shelf Indulgence to help support Kalyn’s release week and contribute toward bestseller list reporting.

Preorders are strongly encouraged to guarantee your copy for signing.

We cannot wait to welcome Kalyn to Tacoma for a night of books, beasts, and beautifully dangerous magic.
