Join Adventure Bound Books as they welcome Annette Saunooke Clapsaddle back to Morganton, this time for the release of her novel "Even As We Breathe"!

This author event is a ticketed event (covers the cost of a copy of her book, taxes, and processing fees) and seating is limited (if NC moves into a new Phase for businesses and activities and we are able to increase the number of seats, we will do so).

Annette will open the event with a reading from her novel followed by a discussion of her writing journey and a Q & A time with the audience.

If you feel safer at home, you can choose the online ticket option. Log in information will be emailed to you on September 18th and your ticket also gets you a signed copy of the novel which will be available for contactless, curbside pick up the following week. You may also choose the shipping "add-on" to have your book mailed to you after the event.

Additional copies of the novel will be available for purchase at the event and in-store if you'd like to pick up a gift for a friend or family member! 

Come get your fix of BACON and enjoy with a cold pint on Fonta's patio!

The weather should be perfect but a little cool so dress accordingly. We will meet on the lawn by the tasting room but may move down below to the covered area at the event space should Sally leave the ground a bit too wet for our practice.

All students must preregister using the link below or by visiting www.breatheyogawellness.com/evnts. Unfortunately, we cannot accommodate drop-ins. Just bring your mat! The cost of this event is $12.00.
