Bestselling Author Returns Home for Toledo Romance Con
Ohio Pen/10313520

TOLEDO, Ohio - OhioPen -- Nationally recognized and bestselling romance author Terreece M. Clarke will return to her hometown of Toledo to participate in the Toledo Romance Con on Saturday, November 8, from 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at the Toledo Lucas County Main Library (325 Michigan St, Toledo, OH).

Clarke, who grew up in Toledo, once worked at the Main Library as a page in the Travel and Biography section during high school and is a graduate of St. Ursula Academy. She will be signing books throughout the day at the Romance Author Fair (10 a.m.–4:30 p.m.) and will appear as a featured panelist for "Intersectional and Intertwined: Why Romance Needs Diversity" (12:15–1 p.m.).

Clarke's first book signing at the Main Library took place in 2018 during the Glass City Comix event for her bestselling children's book Olivia's Potty Adventures. Now, she returns as a bestselling romance author with multiple award-nominated titles in her Courageous Love series.

"This is such a full-circle moment.The library has always been my favorite place and my time as a page fed my passion for reading. Sometimes to the expense of getting books shelved properly," Clarke said with a laugh. "Coming back as an author to sign my own books in the same building where I once shelved them feels incredible. I'm looking forward to chatting with readers, delving into inclusive storytelling in the Why Romance Needs Diversity panel, and grabbing a Ginos pizza and Tony Packo hotdog before the weekend is up."
