You have her books, now you can nosh with New York Times bestselling author Mary Alice Monroe.

Monroe will sign copies of her newest book, "A Lowcountry Wedding," and have lunch with fans from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. May 26 at Lucia's Italian restaurant, 4705 Woodstock Rd. in Roswell.

Tickets are $40 and include an autographed copy of the book, a signature cocktail and a Q&A with Monroe.

Like her other books, Monroe’s latest has a strong environmental message concerning the Atlantic Bluenose dolphins, which run through her Lowcountry summer series. “A Lowcountry Wedding,” introduces Atticus, the mysterious fourth sibling, among half-sisters Carson, Harper, and Dora who have formed strong bonds, thanks to their devoted grandmother.

For tickets to the event, organized by Bookmiser New & Used Books, go here or call 770- 993-1555.
