Meet Theo Gruene!

March 14, 2025 By Talya Tate Boerner

Hello friends! I think it’s time you meet Theo Gruene, the main protagonist of my next book, The Third Act of Theo Gruene. Theo has been occupying a huge portion of my time and mind during the past two years, so it’s only natural I would want you to know him too. AND, at the end of this post I’ve included a link to Chapter One!

You’ll be able to read Chapter One in its entirety, get a real taste for the characters, and decide whether or not it’s something you’ll like. Signed hardback and paperback versions are available to pre-order NOW by clicking HERE, and Kindle and hardback versions can be pre-ordered through Amazon too! (Paperbacks will be available on Amazon soon—there’s no rhyme or reason to the secret schedule of Amazon…)

The Third Act of Theo Gruene officially launches on May 20! 

Alrighty, here we go…

The Gene, Everywhere Virtual Book Launch party is only 9 days away! This is getting real, y’all! What would Gracie do? She’d make a paper chain to count down the days. (Actually, she would have done that a month ago.)

Today, I want to tell you about the book launch giveaway items that will be available to win during the party.

But first, I’m required to provide you with this disclosure: Grace Grits and Gardening is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com.

Gene, Everywhere: Virtual Book Launch Party!

February 20, 2020 By Talya Tate Boerner

Virtual Book Launch Party!

SAVE THE DATE because you’re invited to my Gene, Everywhere Virtual Book Launch Party!

???

  • WHAT? A book launch party held online means there’s no reason not to “attend”. You can wear your most comfy clothes and participate from your couch with favorite beverage in hand.
  • WHEN? March 9, 2020, 6:30 – 8:30 p.m. CST.
  • WHY? Because—it’s time! We had a virtual party in 2016 for the release of The Accidental Salvation of Gracie Lee and it was so much fun. A second book is no less worthy of celebration. Actually, a second book may be more worthy because I am crazy enough to jump back in. LOL.
  • WHO? You. Me. Everyone. Invite your friends!
  • WHERE? On Facebook. So, yes being on Facebook is really the only requirement. 
  • HOW? Click HERE to join the Facebook party. Easy. Free. Fun.

There will be 12 cool prizes up for grabs!
