Karen White Book Signing

Karen White Book Signing

New York Times bestselling author Karen White was at The Blue Giraffe on June 25th as part of a national tour promoting her latest novel and first-ever hardcover, THE TIME BETWEEN.  We are thrilled to report that her 16th novel debuted at #25 on the New York Times bestsellers list!  Despite a little rain, lots of loyal fans joined us to hear Karen read from THE TIME BETWEEN, then enjoyed a lively discussion with this gifted author and gracious woman.

The Blue Giraffe co-owner, Christi, stated ” The Time Between is by far one of the best books I have read in many years! I started reading it on a Monday night and was finished by Thursday night. I literally stayed up reading past midnight every night because I didn’t want to put it down! What a beautifully written and enthralling story with such an important life message.”

Karen took the time to autograph several copies of her book which are available in our gallery. If you were unable to attend her event, we will be happy to mail you a copy.  Simply call us at 850.231.5112 to place your order.

In her new book, “Rare Coastal Dune Lakes: Biodiversity and a Sense of Home”, author/photographer Ginger Jackson Sinton explores the beauty of the lakes and the diversity of their ecosystems. Rare Coastal Dune Lakes are fifteen, dynamic, geological treasures – freshwater with occasional saltwater exchange from the gulf – in Walton County, Florida. Ginger’s recent publication, a full-color, 112-page, softbound photobook, reveals the beauty and rarity of the lakes and surrounding communities along the Scenic Highway 30A area. With an eye for nature, six axis controller apk she weaves personal anecdotes throughout the photo guidebook. A “Sense of Home” in the subtitle is twofold: habitats of native plants and animals and her own fondness for the colorful locale along the Gulf Coast.
