Kiss and Tell is going to go back to the Bay with local romance authors Alyssa Jarrett and Frederick Smith! 📚✨ Join us on February 16 at 6:30 PM at Books Inc in Alameda for romance book chit chat and snacks! See you there!
Alyssa is busy writing happily ever afters. She is a romance author and content marketer based in the San Francisco Bay Area, where the only thing funnier than working in tech is writing about it. Her debut novel, Love Apptually, is the first installment in a 5-book series of Silicon Valley rom-coms. When she’s not telling steamy, satirical love stories, she can be found drinking an iced tea or cuddling with her husband and three cats. You can follow her @authoralyssajarrett on Instagram and subscribe to her newsletter, Grumpy + Sunshine, on Substack.

His latest novel, One and Done, is described as a Black, Queer, Higher Ed, Bay Area romance. It came out in June 2024 on Bold Strokes Books. A higher education professional by day, Frederick does Student Affairs and Diversity & Inclusion work at San Francisco State University. Fred is passionate about social justice, all things Beyonce, Black life, Queer life, romance novels, books in general, and people pursuing and completing their educational goals.
