All authors will be signing copies of their books, limit 2 per author with 1 personalization each.
You will NOT receive a physical ticket for this event; We will have a guest list on hand day-of event.
BOOK BLURB:
Tristan Stone is off limits.
It doesn’t matter that the grumpy, single dad did nothing wrong. He’s a cowboy and his last name means I’m bound by blood to hate him. My family would never be okay with me having feelings for our enemy.
When he stops-in the pouring rain-because I have a flat tire, the last thing I expect is for him to help me.
I do my best to ignore the water sliding off his hat and how he fills out those jeans. My best, however, is not good enough. Each night I close my eyes and dream of a future we can never have. And after he defends me at the bar and we share one magical dance? It only gets worse.
I know I should forget about him, but when I find him alone one night, I offer up a no-strings attached relationship that we both promise to keep secret. Sidelong glances across property lines morph into clandestine meetings under the stars wrapped up in each other’s arms.
It doesn’t matter that our families will never approve or that he’s told me he can never love again, I crave him.
Soon our no feelings agreement is in tatters, and my heart belongs to that broken cowboy. Will he break it or will he defy them all and choose us instead?

Junk Journal Club with Creation Sake by Erika Rose
2026-06-25 18:00 - 21:00
Welcome to Junk Journal Club!
Your cozy, carefree, crafty space for grown ups where we can separate from our screens and have a fun, creative afternoon! This is our place to stop the scroll, calm the overwhelm of ideas, and start creating.
This space is perfect for seasoned junk-journal-ers who are looking for a cool community to co-create with, as well as folks who are curious about junk journaling but aren’t sure where to begin! We meet you where you are, regardless of experience, and help you lean into creation for creation sake.
Join local artist Erika Rose (the owner of Creation Sake) at Divine Barrel for a carefree crafting session where you will learn what junk journaling is, have the opportunity to play with a variety of upcycled crafting materials, and meet new and fun crafty friends!
All skill levels are welcome & all materials will be provided (a blank journal, various collage materials, stickers, markers, crayons, etc.) & you are encouraged (but not required!) to bring any of your own “junk” that you would like to add to your new journal spreads! Junk could be things like: concert/event tickets, receipts, photos, travel brochures, the possibilities are ENDLESS with junk journaling, y’all. ENDLESS.
In June, we celebrate my favorite, Summerween! Expect spooky ephemera, horror sticker books, witchy realness, and the classic orange, black, and purple halloween vibes.
Themes are ALWAYS optional, you can come and participate in the themes, or you can vibe with whatever creative ideas are in your mind. At Creation Sake, we stand by creating simply for the sake of it; we do not have to have a goal, but we have found that sometimes, having a theme helps calm the overwhelm.
Tickets are tiered for accessibility, so here’s the breakdown! Keep in mind, this event is 18+!
$25- recommended ticket tier
$35- our pay-it-forward tier that helps provide the accessibility tier, as well as monthly ticket giveaways
$15- our accessibility tier; times are hard out here, y’all, and we really wanted to find a way to make creative safe spaces accessible to more folks
Junk Journal Club is a creative space for grown ups (ages 18+)

Sticker Club: Stick It Like It's Hot
2026-07-13 18:00 - 21:00
It’s summer in North Carolina, and we’re overheated. Come hydrate and make sticker crafts with us in the glorious air-conditioning of Divine Barrel. This one is summer camp/pool party vibezzz.

WHAT DOES ONE DO AT A STICKER CLUB FOR GROWN-ASS ADULTS?

Omg, thank you so much for asking.

We live, we laugh, and we put stickers on shit. We’ll provide abundant stickers, plus fun options for your base, like journals, bookmarks, and postcards. Plus, fun sticker surprises and giveaways every month!

We’re meeting at Divine Barrel, the arts & silliness hub of Charlotte’s brewery scene. Feel free to grab a drink while we’re there to support our besties!

FAQs:

CAN MY KID COME?

This is Sticker Club for Grown-Ass Adults, so unless your child is 18 or over, no, they cannot join.

CAN I BRING MY OWN STICKERS?

You’re welcome to BYOS, but if you’re not looking to share with the group, make sure that you protect them with your life. Our sticker events get chaotic in the best way, and we can’t promise your stickers won’t try to join the madness.

CAN I BRING MY OWN THING-TO-STICK-STICKERS-ON?

Absolutely. Please bring something extra weird. We’re so excited to see it. THAT SAID, we cannot allow reusable sticker books/sticker transfer paper because a) the entire point of Sticker Club is to release the sticker anxiety of our youths and actually stick stickers, not save them, and b) we’ve noticed that reusable sticker book folks use 3-5x more stickers than folks who are sticker-spamming/sticker-bombing/whatever-you-want-to-call-this, and we just can’t financially accommodate that rate of consumption. Anyone who’s been to Sticker Club can attest that we are VERY generous with our massive sticker collection, but we do have to keep parameters in place to make this venture financially sustainable. If you’ve brought a reusable sticker book previously, please do not bring one in the future. Thank yooou!

WHAT’S THE DEAL WITH PAY-WHAT-YOU-CAN?

Our sticker collection ain’t cheap, y’all, and we keep it fresh for you, but we also know that everything costs $1 million these days, so we have options for you:

$15 Covers the cost of the materials we bring to Sticker Club
$25 Covers the cost of the materials we bring to Sticker Club and the loving work we put into planning and organizing for Sticker Club events
$35 Covers all of the above, plus helps fund monthly sticker surprises and free ticket giveaways on Instagram

Sticker Club: THE GAY ONE!
2026-08-10 18:00 - 21:00
Before we say anything else, let’s address the non-Republican elephant in the room:

CAN I COME TO THIS EVENT IF I’M NOT QUEER?

YES. But only if you’re not a jerk. You gotta be a practicing ally to roll up into this—and every—Sticker Club, so if you’ve got TERFy tendencies or you won’t respect someone’s pronouns, this is not the event/website/community for you.

IT’S CHARLOTTE PRIDE, Y’ALL! That means it’s time to sit weirdly in our chairs together and make gay sticker crafts! The sticker selection will be queer af. Come through.

About the Event

Goyles Gorls is an event series for the spooky at heart—no girlhood required. This one’s for the girls, gays, theys, and their eerie little allies. We don’t care if you show up in sweatpants, neon, pastel, or plague doctor chic. There is no wrong way to be spooky here. (Except being a jerk. If you’re horrible and/or don’t respect human rights, you are not Goyles Gorls material.)

Furby Craft Night is our first event of the series, and we’re crafting with Furby stickers, Furby beads, air-dry clay and, obvi, faux fur. We’ll also be sharing our favorite haunted toy stories, so if you’ve got one to share, come through!

PLEASE NOTE: ABSOLUTELY NO SCARY STORIES INVOLVING SEXUAL VIOLENCE WILL BE ALLOWED. Each storyteller will be asked to provide content warnings before their turn.
