Join us at Chateau Elan for a special evening celebrating New York Times bestselling author Rachel Hawkins and the launch of her latest gothic suspense novel, The Storm. Set against the backdrop of North Georgia wine country, this event brings together storytelling, atmosphere, and a shared love of books.
The Storm is set along Alabama’s Gulf Coast during hurricane season, where a historic seaside inn, a decades-old murder, and an approaching storm converge. Through layered timelines and shifting perspectives, the novel explores family, memory, and the lasting impact of long-buried secrets.
Guests will begin the evening with a casual meet-and-greet with Rachel Hawkins, followed by a live Q&A session where she’ll discuss her writing process, inspirations, and the craft of suspense. Whether you’re a longtime reader or new to her work, this experience offers a thoughtful look into the story behind the novel.
