Local Romance Suspense author Val Clarizio is taking over the taps—armed with cans, charm, and zero bartending experience. She’ll be signing her new novel Trail to Trouble, pouring coffee and beer (we hope), and talking all things literary and small town chaos. Come for the chaos, stay for the books.

Valerie Clarizio is a USA Today bestselling author who lives in romantic Door County Wisconsin with her husband. She loves to read, write, and spend time at her cabin in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. 

He’s never stopped loving her. She’s never stopped running. 
Hunter Samuelson has spent a decade longing for the woman who vanished without a trace. Hannah Rice just wants to escape the shadows of a violent past. 

When a chance encounter ignites old flames, it also awakens a deadly threat. Now, survival means trusting each other, and risking everything for a second chance at love.
