Beloved romance author Denise Williams joins Alli Jessing, Head of Adult Curriculum at HCLS, for a lively conversation celebrating Williams' new book, Just Our Luck. This hotly anticipated new fake dating romance tells a story where a lottery ticket + donuts = love. The duo will also discuss Williams' writing career, how the romance genre has and continues to evolve, and how it empowers readers through representation and emotional honesty. 

Books sales and signing follow the conversation. 


Denise Williams wrote her first book in the 2nd grade. I Hate You and its sequel, I Still Hate You, featured a tough, funny heroine, a quirky hero, witty banter, and a dragon. Minus the dragons, these are still the books she likes to write. After penning those early works, she finished second grade and eventually earned a PhD in education. Denise's work has been featured in The Washington Post, Cosmopolitan, the Today Show, Good Morning America, Oprah Magazine, Marie Claire, Women's World, and her mom's list of top topics of conversation with strangers. Her books have been listed as an Indie Next pick, Library Reads pick, and received starred reviews from Publishers Weekly and Library Journal. After growing up a military brat around the world and across the country, Denise now lives in Iowa with her husband, son, and an ornery shih-tzus who thinks she owns the house. She can usually be found reading, writing, or thinking about love stories.
