Roundabout Books is excited to host local author and social media phenomenon Emily Lynn Paulson at an in-store event on May 14 at 6:30 pm. In her debut novel, The Revenge Party, available May 12, marriage is a stage, politics is a weapon, and every woman has a reason to lie. A razor-sharp, female-driven psychological thriller of social warfare and buried secrets, when women are pushed past polite.
When a husband’s lies are no longer a secret and manipulation passes for love, a wife must decide how far she’s willing to go to expose the man she married—and what justice truly means—in this dark, modern marriage thriller.
Devoted mother and party planner Katherine Valentine thought she’d finally found safety when she married Seattle’s golden boy, Shane Sutton. Charming, generous, and politically untouchable, he’s the kind of man people protect. But behind the polished façade lurks a predator who collects women like trophies, and Katherine has become his latest prize.
Desperate to protect her children, Katherine devises the perfect plan: use Shane’s mistress against him. But Isabella Meyer is no pawn. She didn’t come to be saved. She came to settle a score. And revenge is only the beginning.
Paulson’s prior nonfiction books hit a nerve with the public receiving broad media attention for their unfiltered take on multi-level marketing and the social media influencer’s life.
Emily Lynn Paulson writes about the messy truth behind polished lives and the systems that profit from them. She is the author of “Highlight Real: Finding Honesty and Recovery Beyond the Filtered Life”; “Hey, Hun: Sales, Sisterhood, Supremacy, and the Other Lies Behind Multilevel Marketing”; and the forthcoming thriller, “The Revenge Party”. Through two TEDx talks and frequent media appearances—including The Today Show, the New York Times, the Washington Post, The Seattle Times, the Chicago Tribune, Next Question with Katie Couric, and the Tamron Hall Show—Paulson has become a clear-eyed commentator on resilience, belonging, and the complicated economies of modern womanhood.
Tickets are $5 or the purchase of The Revenge Party. Books can be purchased through the Roundabout Books website here, via telephone at 541-306-6564, or in the store. For further information, please contact Roundabout Books’ Event Manager, Julie Swearingen, at julie@roundaboutbookshop.com.
