There’s always something brewing in Smyrna, but on Saturday, March 8, the buzz is all about Colleen Oakley. This bestselling author, Smyrna resident of 14 years, and mom to four busy kids is throwing a party to celebrate the launch of her latest novel, Jane and Dan at the End of the World.
From 5–7 p.m., JE Dunn Construction (2555 Cumberland Pkwy SE) will transform into the place to be. Think free cocktails, tasty bites, and a crowd of book lovers ready to toast Colleen’s wild and witty new tale. Hosted by FoxTale Book Shoppe, the event promises to be as charming and unpredictable as Colleen’s stories.
And speaking of stories, Jane and Dan at the End of the World is one for the books—literally. It follows a couple whose date night takes a hilariously chaotic turn when they’re taken hostage by eco-activists reenacting one of Jane’s failed novels. Equal parts laugh-out-loud funny and heartwarming, it’s the kind of story that’ll keep you turning pages well past bedtime.
So, mark your calendars, Smyrna! Come for the fun, stay for the story, and leave with a signed copy (and maybe a new favorite book). This is a celebration you don’t want to miss!
