Book Launch Party: Love and Other Incurable Ailments<\/em><\/h2>\n

Join us Thursday, November 5,<\/strong> for a book launch party celebrating Linda K. Sienkiewicz\u2019s new novel, Love and Other Incurable Ailments<\/em>, published by Regal House Publishing. The event will be at Color Ink Studio, 20919 John R Road in Hazel Park. <\/p>\n

Hosted by Melinda LaPere, the evening will feature Linda K. Sienkiewicz in conversation with author Dorene O\u2019Brien. There will be refreshments, conversation, and books available for purchase from Book Beat.<\/p>\n

Described as \u201cwitty and raw\u201d by Foreword Reviews<\/em>, Love and Other Incurable Ailments<\/em> follows an anxious overthinker who discovers discarded love letters in a dumpster. Her fascination with the stranger who wrote them takes her from Michigan to an island in the Outer Banks, setting off a chain of complications that threatens to unravel her carefully constructed life.<\/p>\n
