Lovesick Blossoms

Visitors to my table can find copies of my latest novel Lovesick Blossoms as well as some of my previous titles. Given the fest’s proximity to Halloween, there might be candy as well!

Everyone is welcome! “Y’all” means “all.” But I do think Lovesick Blossoms will particularly appeal to readers with an interest in historical fiction, Appalachian fiction, LGBTQ+ fiction, or all of the above.

I am a true Appalachian author in that I am a fourth-generation Appalachian and have lived in Appalachia all my life.

I’ve participated in the Book Festival many times. My favorite thing is always getting to chat with readers and getting to visit with other author buddies I haven’t seen in a while.

About the Author

Author of fourteen novels for both young adults and adults, Julia Ellen Watts’s books have won a Lambda Literary Award, a Golden Crown Literary Award, and Honorable Mention for Best YA Novel of the Year in the Foreword INDIES awards. Set in a small Kentucky college town in 1953,  Lovesick Blossoms is a compelling and emotional tale of passion, power, fulfillment -and consequences- of not playing by the rules in Appalachia.
