DESCRIPTION:in partnership with Saint Owen Eyewear\nAbout the Event\nJoin Saint Owen founders Val Sanders and Michelle Haner\, in celebrating the launch of bestselling authors Liz Fenton & Lisa Steinke’s newest book\, Girls’ Night Out\, a chilling novel of psychological suspense that will make you think twice about what your best friend may be hiding. \n \nBefore you dig into the new book\, you’ll want to shield your eyes from the Mexican sun and the secrets and betrayals present in Liz and Lisa’s new book with a fabulous pair of Saint Owens Eyewear (you can even purchase your own fabulous pair at an astonishing 50% discount available only during the event!). \nWhile you enjoy wine and appetizers\, Liz and Lisa will share how they plumb the intricacies of female friendship in their writing. And if they inspire you to take your own trip to Mexico (hopefully filled with less drama and secrets)\, you’ll have the opportunity to win a pair of Saint Owen designer sunglasses (12 giveaways available)! \nYour Adventure includes a signed copy of Girls’ Night Out\, wine and appetizers\, the opportunity to win one of 12 pairs of designer Saint Owen Sunglasses\, the special 50% discount on Saint Owen Sunglasses (available at this event only)\, tax\, gratuity\, author talk\, book signing\, and the chance to meet the authors and Saint Owen founders up-close and personal in a fun and hip setting. \nAbout the Authors\n\nLiz Fenton & Lisa Steinke are the authors of the forthcoming Girls’ Night Out and the Amazon Charts bestselling novel\, The Good Widow. Liz and Lisa have been best friends for over 25 years. They have also published three novels with Simon & Schuster/Atria Books. Your Perfect Life is a hilarious and heartwarming story of two childhood best friends who switch bodies at their twenty-year high school reunion. The Status of All Things\, is a cautionary tale of a woman who realizes she can change the course of her entire life by what she writes in her Facebook status. And The Year We Turned Forty follows three women who get the chance to relive the year they turned forty\, a year they each made decisions that altered the course of their lives. \nGirls’ Night Out: For estranged friends Ashley\, Natalie\, and Lauren\, it’s time to heal the old wounds between them. Where better to repair those severed ties than on a girls’ getaway to the beautiful paradise of Tulum\, Mexico? But even after they’re reunited\, no one is being completely honest about the past or the secrets they’re hiding. When Ashley disappears on their girls’ night out\, Natalie and Lauren have to try to piece together their hazy memories to figure out what could have happened to her\, while also reconciling their feelings of guilt over their last moments together. \nWas Ashley with the man she’d met only days before? Did she pack up and leave? Was she kidnapped? Or worse—could Natalie or Lauren have snapped under the weight of her own lies? As the clock ticks\, hour by hour\, Natalie and Lauren’s search rushes headlong into growing suspicion and dread. Maybe their secrets run deeper and more dangerous than one of them is willing—or too afraid—to admit. \n\nAbout Saint Owen Eyewear\n\n \nBorn from a musical background and a thirst for singularity\, Saint Owen overthrows the stereotypes of eyewear by combining punk rock attitude and unrivaled quality. The creators behind Saint Owen eyewear\, twin sisters Val Sanders and Michelle Haner\, pull inspiration from their own worldwide travels to crafft rebellious designs for the risk-taking individual. Rooted in the music industry and steadily on the road\, the twins have created a boutique brand which embodies the rock and roll lifestyle. \n\nStart to finish\, Saint Owen sunglasses are forged in a family-owned factory in which traditional techniques merge with modern technology.  With an unwavering consideration toward detail\, each design comes to life by human touch and an unsurpassed level of craftsmanship.  They project authenticity and bring intimacy to their industry. They are a boutique brand that is dedicated to perfectionism\, redefining luxury and thriving on innovation. No facade\, no gimmick\, and no pitch. \nFor Book Clubs\nLiz and Lisa are just two of the many authors who are Novel Network members!
