Pendleton Public Library will welcome award-winning author Melody Carlson on Sept. 9 for a special presentation and book signing.
Known for bestselling Christmas novellas, young adult titles and contemporary romances, Carlson is the author of more than 250 books, including Diary of a Teenage Girl, The Happy Camper, and Christmas at Winter Hill. She received a Romantic Times Career Achievement Award, her novel All Summer Long has been made into a Hallmark movie, and the movie based on her novel The Happy Camper premiered on UPtv in 2023.
On Sept. 9, Carlson will present at the Pendleton Public Library to promote her newest novel. Once Upon a Christmas Carol releases Sept. 2, and Carlson will be bringing copies to the Pendleton Public Library for her visit.
In Once Upon a Christmas Carol, the protagonist, Carol Langstrom, plans a solo trip to the Bahamas for the holidays but instead finds herself redirected to snowy Michigan. Instead of a tropical vacation, Carol discovers a different kind of Christmas—one wrapped in love, family, and the genuine holiday spirit she's been missing her entire life.
Carlson’s presentation will begin at 5:30 p.m. in the Pendleton Public Library, 502 SW Dorion Ave, Pendleton. After the presentation and reading, Carlson will be available for a meet-and-greet and book signing.
No registration required.
