An Evening With Tj Klune

Join us for an evening with beloved fantasy author TJ Klune for his new book The Stars Look Like Home.The Stars Look Like Home is a novel about the healing power of found family and of finding happiness in the unlikeliest of places.

Above all, this triumphant, joyful novel is a love letter to all of our four-legged friends.Meet Burke: a young dog (part German Shepherd, part Husky, wolf at heart) who just wants to find his forever home, especially after he fails to meet the rigorous standards of a training programme for service animals. (After a minor incident involving a rabbit which Burke maintains really wasn't his fault.)Enter Jake: a grieving philosophy professor.

Persuaded to foster Burke temporarily by his dog-trainer sister, Jake finally has a reason to get out of bed in the morning.

Slowly - one dog walk at a time - the broken pieces of Jake's heart begin to mend.

But Burke starts to realise what Jake does not: what he really needs is a bigger pack.

And where better to find Jake a new human in his life than at the local dog park . . .TJ KLUNE is the Sunday Times and New York Times bestselling, Lambda Literary Award-winning author of The House in the Cerulean Sea, Under the Whispering Door, In the Lives of Puppets, and the Green Creek Series for adults, the Extraordinaries Series for teens, and more.

Being queer himself, Klune believes it's important - now more than ever - to have accurate, positive queer representation in stories.
