Join us on August 29th from 12-3pm for a Meet + Greet with Long Island author Effie Kammenou! Effie will be signing copies and chatting with customers and you can buy all of her books from the store!
Books on hand: The Magic of Robola: A second-chance forced proximity romance set on a Greek vineyard.
The Gift Saga: Evanthia's Gift Waiting for Aegina Chasing Petalouthes
The Meraki Series: Love is What You Bake of it Love by Design Love is Worth Fighting For
About the author: Effie Kammenou believes it’s never too late to follow your heart—and her romantic fiction reflects that belief. A first-generation Greek-American, Effie writes contemporary romance and women’s fiction infused with Greek culture, family traditions, and emotionally layered love stories.
After working in the optical field for over forty years while raising her two daughters, Effie published her debut novel, Evanthia’s Gift, in 2015. Inspired by her mother and her family’s journey from Lesvos, Greece, to America, the book launched The Gift Saga, a multigenerational women’s fiction trilogy centered on love, loss, and legacy. Her interview with her father—who shared stories of their family’s past until his passing at age 100—was later published in the nationally circulated magazine Reminisce.
Effie is the award-winning author of The Gift Saga and The Meraki Series, including Love Is What You Bake of It, Love by Design, and Love Is Worth Fighting For, with Love in Plain Sight set to complete the series. Each romance follows a sibling navigating love, ambition, and the expectations of a deeply involved Greek family, while a mystery tied to real Greek history unfolds across the series.
Her novels have been finalists and winners in the Readers’ Favorite Book Awards, International Book Awards, and BookFest Awards. As a special bonus, many of her romances include traditional Greek recipes featured throughout the story—most passed down from her Athenian mother.
Her latest novel, The Magic of Robola, is a swoon-filled second-chance romance told across dual timelines and set in Greece, recently released on January 30, 2026.
Effie lives on Long Island and is a member of Romance Writers of America, Women’s Fiction Writers Association, and several regional author organizations
