We are honored to be able to talk with him about his work, creative process, and experience as a young creative growing up in rural Arkansas.

Join us for a panel discussion and Q&A with author Sammantha Selwood to celebrate her debut novel It’s Always You.

Saylor Mendoza had finally moved on. Even with her best friend's wedding looming on the horizon, life was finally looking up for the 21-year-old single mother.

Then, Jake Clark returned home.

Jake joined the Army a few years ago and never turned back. He made a pretty good life for himself, until it all fell apart.

Now he's back to figure out his next steps, help his sister with her wedding, and to make amends with Saylor, his sister's best friend - the girl he's been in love with for years.

Saylor didn't expect Serena's twin brother to come home so soon, and turn her world upside down once more.

Can these broken souls find a way to forgive and forget their rocky past, and let themselves finally have their happy ending?

If you are a fan of small town romance and happy endings, this is not an event you’ll want to miss!

The panel will be moderated by Garnet Villages’ founder, Molly Ondich, will a Q& A opportunity from the audience at the end, along with a signing opportunity. This event is free, with an optional choice to purchase books for signing.

This event will be hosted at the Farmington Public Library located at 117 Academy St. in Farmington (close to the UMF campus’s Merrill building).
