Meeting Katherine Center at Off Square Books

Yesterday, June 20, I had the absolute pleasure of meeting Katherine Center at Off Square Books in Oxford, MS.

My friend, Reeca, met me in Oxford and boy- did I have to move the world to make this happen but I’ve been dying to go to a book event for months especially since I missed Ashley Elston at Thacker Mountain Radio. So I moved the world and told everyone to hold on to their issues because this gal was going to a much needed bookish fun evening!

I met Reeca at Venice Kitchen and she had already ordered (and paid for!) a glass of wine and hoo-boy, after all the juggling of the day, I needed it. So we sipped wine and caught up, then she headed to the signing to get us great seats and I went to get my book.

First, the edges of the pages are spray-painted pink which I am LOVING (it’s the little things!) I also ADORE the cover!

It should be known that many years ago, back in 2013, I had the opportunity to interview Katherine Center via email and I dug through the old archives of Traveling With T to show this 2 part interview! Interview with Katherine Center, author of The Lost Husband and Author Spotlight: Katherine Center. I hope you will take a minute to read them!

But back to the signing. Reeca and I had a great time, I met a fellow bookworm (@hannahjuliff ) and snapped some photos of Katherine Center when I wasn’t laughing or taking notes!

Katherine talked about her start as a writer when she was in 6th grade, writing fan fiction about Duran Duran, Josh Duhamel, some tidbits about her next book and when I asked about if The Bodyguard was possibly being made into a movie- well, she was very coy and said she could not comment so….. FINGERS CROSSED.

She also said this and if someone does not make this into a shirt or sticker- well we’re missing out! “I also want someone to take their shirt off.”- Katherine Center, Off Square Books, 6.20.24
