Zibby Owens in Conversation With Swan Huntley at Southampton Arts Center

authorStaff Writer on May 26, 2024

On August 9 at 6 p.m. author Swan Huntley will come to Southampton Arts Center for an author panel and book signing with Zibby Owens, and fellow authors Audrey Bellezza and Emily Harding. All authors will discuss their books with “Zibby Media” founder Zibby Owens, followed by a book signing.

Swan Huntley’s wickedly glamorous forthcoming novel “I Want You More” (Zibby Books) is on sale May 21, 2024. Set in East Hampton, this electric page-turner keeps readers on the edge of their seats as protagonists Zara and Jane’s lives become enmeshed and their entanglement leads to dangerous consequences. This dark and twisty novel about fame, lies, and obsession will make even the most open-hearted reader question how safe it is to trust the people they love.

Swan Huntley is the author of the novels “Getting Clean With Stevie Green,” “The Goddesses,” and “We Could Be Beautiful.” She is also the writer and illustrator of the journal-style mini-tomes “The Bad Mood Book” and “You’re Grounded” (Summer 2024). Huntley earned an MFA at Columbia University and has received fellowships from MacDowell and Yaddo, where she was the 2019 recipient of The LeSage-Fullilove Residency. She lives in Los Angeles, California.

Author, podcaster, publisher, CEO and mom of four, Zibby Owens is the powerhouse behind “Zibby Media,” the monthly book roundups for “Good Morning America,” and the creator of the hit podcast “Moms Don’t Have Time To Read Books.” Her first novel, “Blank,” came out in March 2024.

Admission is free, and tickets can be purchased at southamptonartscenter.org. The Southampton Arts Center is at 25 Jobs Lane, Southampton.
