Coffee Creations: Book Launch and Q&A

Please note, this event will be held in Portuguese.

What to expect from this book launch event?

An intimate and relaxed conversation about "Entre Céus e Corações", where the author will share the inspiration behind the story, the writing journey, and the challenges of bringing together themes like love, distance, and fame.

Whether you’re a romance lover, a K-pop fan, or simply curious about the story, you’re very welcome! There will also be time for questions, interaction with the author, and the opportunity to purchase signed copies of the book.

Catarina Nunes studied Electronic, Telecommunications and Computer Engineering, and from a young age developed a passion for writing. Her love for literature was complemented by music — especially K-Pop — which became a source of inspiration for her stories.

Over the years, Catarina cultivated a special appreciation for narratives that explore love, distance, and the challenges of modern life. Among her influences are authors who master contemporary romance and crime fiction.

Entre Céus e Corações is her first published novel — a result of the fusion between her personal and professional passions, creating a story that blends technology, emotion, and the unexpected connections that transform lives.

Entre Céus e Corações follows the story of Carlota, a young Portuguese engineer whose life takes an unexpected turn after a meet&amp;greet with Jinwoo, a rising K-Pop star. What begins as a fan moment quickly evolves into a deep connection, forcing them both to navigate the complexities of fame, long-distance love, and the sacrifices that come with chasing dreams.

What topics does the book explore?

- Cultural contrasts and cross-cultural relationships

- The power of connection in the digital age

Book Launch - Entre Céus e Corações by Catarina Nunes

Come and celebrate the release of 'Wild Cities' with the Author himself, Chris Fitch. There will be time for questions, interaction with the author, and the opportunity to purchase signed copies of the book.

Chris Fitch is a science and travel writer with a passion for improving humanity's relationship with nature in the modern world. Born in London, he spent his childhood exploring rainforests in Honiara, capital of the Solomon Islands. He is a former senior staff writer for&nbsp;Geographical Magazine, and has written for titles such as&nbsp;National Geographic&nbsp;and&nbsp;Lonely Planet. His first book,&nbsp;Atlas of Untamed Places, was published in 2017, followed by&nbsp;Globalography&nbsp;and&nbsp;Subterranea. Having previously lived in South Korea, Taiwan, New Zealand, and Brazil, he now resides in Lisbon, Portugal.

Nature isn’t a luxury, it’s a necessity. But today the majority of the world’s population lives in some form of urban environment. And by 2050, two-thirds of humanity will live in towns and cities.

Studies have shown that a daily walk in the woods can improve our health and happiness, that those who can observe a natural scene through a hospital window will recover faster. The sound of birds, the smell of tree oils, the presence of free-flowing water – these are all vital to our wellbeing. So as the human footprint of brick, concrete and metal expands, how do we protect our connection to the natural world?

In&nbsp;Wild Cities, Chris Fitch leads us around the world in search of answers, visiting pioneering cities and meeting the people working at the forefront of this issue. From the tiny urban forests in Tokyo and the star-rich skies of Flagstaff, to the meandering river channels of Munich and lions prowling through gardens in Nairobi, this is a globe-spanning look at how to bring nature into the places we live – and how to create the wild cities of the future.

This event is free to attend, but we ask that you<a href="https://www.eventbrite.pt/e/book-launch-good-company-bookstore-tickets-1307867198999?aff=oddtdtcreator"> register your free ticket </a>so we know how many people to expect.

Book Launch - Wild Cities by Chris Fitch.

Join us for an evening of poetry, creativity, and community at Good Company Bookstore as we invite American poet and medical sociologist, Alexus Erin, to read their poems, followed by a discussion and Q&amp;A. Whether you're a poet, a poetry lover, or simply curious, this is an opportunity to enjoy and connect with fellow literary enthusiasts.

Alexus will be reading poems from her most recent collection, Cartoon Logic, Cartoon Violence (Baobab Press, 2022) and selected new works-in-progress from an upcoming collection interested in themes of dreaming, grand maroonage, alienation, and 'neo-confessional' lyric poetry. There will be a discussion and Q&amp;A to follow.

Dr. Alexus Erin is an American poet, medical sociologist, performer, and doula living in the UK. Her poetry has previously appeared with Poetry Society of America, Feral Mag, Potluck Magazine, The Melanin Collective, The Nervous Breakdown, God is in the TV, LEVELER, Red Flag Poetry, Silk + Smoke, and a host of others. She is the author of Two Birds, All Moon (Gap Riot Press, 2019), St. John’s Wort (Animal Heart Press, 2019) and Cartoon Logic, Cartoon Violence (Baobab Press, 2022). She was the 2018 Poet Fellow of the Leopardi Writers Conference, and performer at Edinburgh Fringe Festival. When she’s not doing any of the above, she can be found working with textiles and thinking about children’s liberation.

This event is for anyone with a love of poetry - whether you’re a seasoned poet, an aspiring writer, or simply a poetry enthusiast who enjoys listening to spoken word.

This event is free to attend, but <a href="https://www.eventbrite.pt/e/poetry-reading-author-talk-good-company-bookstore-tickets-1333896202449">we ask that you register a free ticket</a> in advance so we know how many people to expect. Seating is limited and on a first-come-first-serve basis.

Poetry Reading & Author Talk

A relaxed meet-and-greet to celebrate the launch of Chasing the Calm by Jacqueline Sand. It’s a chance to chat with the author, get your book signed, and connect with fellow readers. We’ll also have a few special giveaways - items inspired by the story itself. Come by, say hello, and enjoy an evening surrounded by good company and good books.

Jacqueline Sand is a contemporary romance author who believes that storytelling - like love - is one of the most transformative powers in the world. Her work has captured the attention of major platforms, including AP News, Medium, and beyond. As a rising voice in the genre, Jacqueline’s stories are infused with heart, humor, and insights drawn from her own life experiences. When she’s not crafting love stories, she’s soaking up the sun on Portugal’s coastlines and chasing after her two little ones with a cup of matcha in hand.

Chasing the Calm follows a sought-after yogi wellness influencer and an emotionally guarded capitalist as they navigate the tangled threads of love, healing, and unexpected connection. Set against the serene backdrop of Tulum, this romance explores the power of vulnerability and the journey to finding peace—in each other and within themselves.

Blurb: Successful yogi and sought-after wellness influencer Yasmine Sepehr has built a life helping others heal - while quietly keeping her own heart locked away. But when a Hollywood production lands her in Beverly Hills, she collides with someone who threatens to shake every boundary she’s ever set: Alex Pierce.

Alex is a high-powered venture capitalist who doesn’t do vulnerability - ever. He’s built his world on control, ambition, and emotional distance. But Yasmine? She’s everything he doesn’t know how to handle: grounded, open, and impossibly authentic. The kind of woman that sees through the armor and touches the parts he thought he’d buried for good.

What begins as a steamy, whirlwind weekend deepens into something raw, tender, and terrifyingly real - until it all falls apart. Now, the only question left is: can fate rewrite the ending they never saw coming?

A second-chance romance about stillness, surrender, and the kind of love that rewrites everything you thought you knew about healing.

This event is free to attend, but we ask that you <a href="https://www.eventbrite.pt/e/book-launch-of-chasing-the-calm-by-jacqueline-san-tickets-1372716374629">register your free ticket</a>&nbsp;so we know how many people to expect.
