For fans of Scream Queens and Prom Queens, this will be an evening to remember! Join One More Page Books for (bloody) prom punch, tulle dresses (optional, but encouraged!), and a game of "shred your enemies" as we celebrate all the Final Girls who ever dodged death in order to claim their crown.
Local thriller author L.S. Stratton will be in conversation with Alex Travis. Join us for prom-ish festivities, a brief author discussion, followed by signing! Pre-order signed copies below.
About BLACK GIRLS DON'T CRY:
When a Black teen decides to run for prom queen at her predominantly white high school, the competition takes a deadly turn when the fight for the crown becomes a matter of life or death. A gripping YA thriller for readers of Jumata Emill's The Black Queen and Tiffany D. Jackson's The Weight of Blood.
Ida and JJ could have been the ultimate power couple of Banneker High. As the VP and president of their Black Student Union, the two seemed destined to be yearbook legends. But that was before JJ learned Ida was equally attracted to girls. JJ is already deep in a new relationship, which infuriates Ida--almost as much as when a sexist "hot list' starts circulating the school. It's bad enough anyone rated the girls on their looks, but the list has only white students. Seriously?
There has never been any racial diversity among the prom queen candidates at Banneker, so the BSU decides to make their own statement on beauty and run a candidate. Now Ida and JJ's new girlfriend are both competing for the title. Ida wants to make a point more than win the crown, but having smart, savvy Amayah as her campaign manager might just help her do both. She's already winning Ida's heart.
Competition is fierce. Suddenly the prom queen candidates start getting picked off one by one...dropping out and dropping dead. Forget winning a tiara. Who will live to see prom?
About the authors:
Alex Travis worked in autism research for three years and has a PhD in School Psychology. She is also the author of the YA thriller, The Payback Girls. As a Black woman, she hopes to add to the growing canon of great YA work about Black teenagers. She lives in Virginia.
 L.S. Stratton is a NAACP Image Award-nominated author and former crime newspaper reporter who has written more than a 30 books under different pen names in just about every genre from thrillers to romance to historical fiction. She currently lives in Maryland with her husband, their daughter, and their tuxedo cat. <a href="https://onemorepagebooks.com/book/9798217004942" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">SUNDOWN GIRLS</a> is her first thriller for Young Adults.

Prom-Themed Launch Party for BLACK GIRLS DON'T CRY by Alex Travis

Marymount Library Auditorium

Virginia is a state where local government only has 
powers given to it under state law. In 1930 the General Assembly 
authorized and Arlington voters approved the adoption of what is called 
the County Manager form of government and voters elected the first 5 
Member County Board in 1931. With only a few minor changes that form of 
government is what Arlington has today, 96 years later.
The County Board is studying the question of whether changes should 
be made to our current form of government. One issue that has arisen 
concerns the historical context in which the 1930 changes were made. 
John Milliken has done a deep dive into the history of that time to find
 out:&nbsp;Why was this system adopted back then?&nbsp;Use the link to directions to free on-campus parking or to register for Zoom access
