Williams also discusses the importance of representation in romance, her approach to writing, and why romance is a genre with endless opportunities to inspire hope.
In partnership with Books with a Past and with support from Anne Arundel County Public Library, Kent County Public Library, Prince George's County Memorial Library System, Ruth Enlow Library, Talbot County Free Library, and Worcester County Library. Copies of How to Fail at Flirting (available Dec. 1) are available to preorder/purchase at bookswithapast.com.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Denise Williams wrote her first book in the 2nd grade. I Hate You and its sequel, I Still Hate You, featured a tough, funny heroine, a quirky hero, witty banter, and a dragon. Minus the dragons, these are still the books she likes to write. After penning those early works, she finished second grade and eventually earned a PhD in education, going on to work in higher education. After growing up a military brat around the world and across the country, Denise now lives in Des Moines, Iowa with her husband, son, and two ornery shih-tzus who think they own the house.
PRAISE FOR HOW TO FAIL AT FLIRTING
“In this steamy romance, Naya Turner is an overachieving math professor blowing off work stress with a night on the town, which leads to a night with a dapper stranger. And then another, and another. She’s smitten by the time she realizes there’s a professional complication, and the relationship could put her job at risk. Williams blends rom-com fun with more weighty topics in her winsome debut.”—The Washington Post
“Williams’ debut weaves a charming, romantic love story about a heroine rediscovering her voice and standing up for her passions.”—USA Today bestselling author Andie J. Christopher, on How to Fail at Flirting
“The warmth in Denise Williams’s writing is unmistakable, as is her wit. She tackles difficult subjects, difficult emotions, with such empathy and thoughtfulness. Best of all: Jake is just the type of hero I love—sexy, smart, sweet, and smitten.”—Olivia Dade, Author of Teach Me, on How to Fail at Flirting

Candlelight Concert Society presents, "Approaching Late Beethoven" featuring Dr. Richard Giarusso (Online)
Date: 12/08/20Time: 7:00pm - 8:15pm
Branch: Online Branch
Age group: Ages 18+ (Adults), All Ages / Families
Program type: Art & Music
Description:
Approaching Late Beethoven
In the last ten years of Beethoven’s life, he embarked upon an extraordinary creative journey that pushed his groundbreaking style in startling new directions. Such monumental projects as the Missa Solemnis, the Ninth Symphony, and the Diabelli Variations were products of this “late” period in Beethoven’s life, but, above all, the decade was dominated by an intense focus on the string quartet. In this presentation, we will consider some of the factors that define Beethoven’s “late” style—features that marked new directions in Beethoven’s compositional thought, that mystified Beethoven’s contemporaries, and that still have the power to astonish audiences today.
Dr. Richard Giarusso is Chair of the Musicology Department at The Peabody Conservatory, where he teaches classes in 19th- and 20th-century music. He holds a Ph.D. in Historical Musicology from Harvard University and a BA in Music and English from Williams College. A skilled and dynamic lecturer, he has presented talks for the Philadelphia Museum of Art, the Johns Hopkins Alumni Association, the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra, the Washington Bach Consort, the Shriver Hall Concert Series, and The Baltimore Museum of Art. In addition to his academic work, Richard maintains an active career as a singer and conductor throughout the Northeast. He currently serves as music director of the Georgetown Chorale in Washington, D.C., and as artistic director of the Voce Chamber Singers in northern Virginia. Learn more at www.richardgiarusso.com.
