Columbia is full of wonderful writers, and we at Skylark celebrate them in a number of different ways, from hosting local author nights to readings — and, of course, to stocking and talking about and selling their books. Most fun of all is when we get to throw a party for a book launch — and that is what we’ll be doing to celebrate the publication of THE UGLY TRUTH, the third novel by one of our most beloved novelists, the brilliant Jill Orr.

THE UGLY TRUTH is the third installment in the Riley Ellison mystery series, and it’s rich with all the suspense, humor, small-town charm and captivating characters that made the first two books a hit with critics and fans alike.

There’s been a shocking double murder in Tuttle Corner, Virginia, involving high-profile players from Washington D.C. This brings national attention — and big-city competition for the story — to junior reporter Riley Ellison’s little corner of the world. Beloved cafe owner Rosalee is the prime suspect in the violent crimes, but she insists on her innocence. In exchange for protection, Rosalee gives Riley and her fellow reporter Holman exclusive information that incriminates a powerful person.

Meanwhile, Personal Romance Concierge(TM) Regina H. is back, offering once-again-single Riley not just online dating expertise but also a new subscription self-care service that promises such benefits as “the sensation of emotional bravery on a micromolecular level.”

Riley and Holman eventually begin to wonder if Rosalee is telling the truth. They head down separate investigative paths until one of them finds the truth… and one of them finds the killer.

Come and help us launch this book into the world! Jill will be there to talk about the book and sign your copy for you. There will be giveaways and snacks! And bubbly stuff.

The Missouri Symphony Orchestra presents a diverse and fun program that takes us around the musical world in 80 minutes! We will travel by hot air balloon, by boat, jet airplane and electric car, to many different countries and meet the most famous composers of each country.   All young audience members will be invited onto the stage to conduct the orchestra in our “Parade of Semi-Conductors,”and there will be an instrumental petting zoo at the end of the program where audience members can come up onto the stage and get a hands-on experience with many different instruments.
