Meet the Author: Harlow Ann Leroux - September 26th

During the Downtown Menomonie Wine Walk, Saturday September 26, 2:30-6pm, meet romantasy author Harlow Ann Leroux. She'll have books for sale and signing.

The Books:

• "Cursed by Midnight and Morning:" The story begins when a witch named Cassie is kidnapped by a vampire.

Cassie Marlow has always been different from other witches, feeling exhausted by daylight and energized at night, while craving foods that make others recoil. When she's suddenly abducted from her small coastal town, her carefully constructed world shatters.

Thrust into a hidden supernatural society ruled by ancient powers, Cassie uncovers shocking truths about her heritage that explain her lifelong differences. She's caught between two worlds that have been enemies for centuries, her very existence challenging the fundamental laws that keep them apart.

With her sister Claire missing and powerful factions determined to eliminate them both, Cassie must embrace abilities she never knew she possessed. Her unlikely alliance with her captor, the enigmatic Alexander Ross, complicates matters as attraction sparks between them.

As ancient hatreds and modern prejudices collide, Cassie represents both a threat and a promise to the supernatural world, if she can survive long enough to claim her birthright.

• "Blessed by Midnight and Morning:" The story continues with Cassie's sister Claire.

She commands storms. He drinks blood. And everyone wants her and her sister dead. Magic is rising, trust is sinking, and no one has time to preheat the oven.

Claire Marlow never asked for much: quiet days, ancient texts, and meringues that don’t collapse under coastal humidity. But when a masked intruder breaks into her home and kidnaps her, she’s dragged into a hidden world ruled by vampires, and her life becomes a dangerous balancing act of secrets, survival, and honing her evolving magic.

Her kidnapper, Sam, is infuriating, secretive, and unfortunately the only one keeping her alive.

As Claire’s magic grows into something wild and dangerous, she’s forced to confront a world she’s been sheltered from. It’s a world where hybrid witches are hunted, blood is power, and trust is a deadly gamble. Between magical ambushes, political betrayal, and fighting off shark attacks in open water, Claire learns that survival isn’t just about staying alive. It’s about deciding who she’s going to be when the world finally sees what she really is.
