Author Jill Shalvis to discuss new Sunrise Cove book Jan. 17

Bestselling author Jill Shalvis will join the Lewes Public Library and Browseabout Books for a live, online discussion of her new book “The Backup Plan” at 7 p.m., Tuesday, Jan. 17. 

The latest in Shalvis’s popular Sunset Cove series, “The Backup Plan” follows three people who are brought together when they’re bequeathed a falling-apart-at-the-seams Wild West bed and breakfast. The will stipulates that they must renovate and be partners in the inn for one year or lose their inheritance. While the project has the potential to tear their lives apart, it instead turns into the gift of a lifetime.

Shalvis will be joined in conversation by Susan Wiggs, author of more than 50 novels, including the Lakeshore Chronicles series, and bestsellers “Family Tree” and “The Lost and Found Bookshop.”

Shalvis lives in a small town in the Sierras full of quirky characters. Any resemblance to the quirky characters in her books is mostly coincidental.
