Join us for a special event with Steven K. Smith, the bestselling author of The Virginia Mysteries series! Steven began writing in 2013 when his imaginative bedtime stories for his three sons sparked a full-fledged book series for kids ages 7–12 (and beloved by readers of all ages).

His first 11 books—including Summer of the Woods, Mystery on Church Hill, and Spies at Mount Vernon—have inspired young readers through thrilling adventures set in real Virginia locations with a twist of history and mystery.

Steven will be celebrating the release of his 12th book, Conspiracy at the Launch, a gripping new mystery starring Sam, Derek, and Caitlin. This time, the trio stumbles into a high-stakes conspiracy at Virginia’s Wallops Island Space Center. As drones buzz overhead and secrets swirl around a tech billionaire’s rocket program, the kids must uncover the truth before it’s too late.

Come meet the author who’s helping a new generation fall in love with reading—especially stories set in places they know and love.
