Author Anna McCollie from Stillwell, Kansas, teamed up with Jenna Bush Hager of Thousand Voices for a packed Q&A at Rainy Day Books, drawing 1,200 fans eager to celebrate both the book and the World Cup buzz. Even though the novel wasn’t officially out until June 23, Jenna surprised everyone with a video showing it already selling at an airport—a sneaky early release that fans loved. They dove into writing secrets, favorite authors, and why this book feels like a perfect match for the city’s soccer fever. It was more than a book launch—it was a community celebration proving indie bookstores still matter. Up next: James Patterson and Mike Lupica in July.
