HOUSTON—The Village of Tanglewood will welcome local author Louise Gaylord for a release party for her newest novel, “Spa Deadly,” on Wednesday, June 4, from 4 to 7 p.m. at the retirement community, 1600 Augusta Drive. The book release party will feature spa favors, including loofahs and soaps, with a few plush bath robes to be given away every hour. Refreshments and piano entertainment will be offered as well. This unique event is free and open to the public, but a reservation is required by calling 713-977-1400.

Gaylord is a mystery writer who uses her alter-ego, Allie Armington, to tell her stories. Gaylord is renowned for plots that twist and turn with the coincidental chaos of reality, impeccably researched webs of modern culture and sub-culture and characters driven by fundamental needs and desires. She has written three other mystery novels, including “Anacacho,” “Xs” and “Julia Fairchild.” “Spa Deadly” is no exception to Gaylord’s repertoire of enticing mystery novels.

Village Park of Tanglewood is located at 1600 Augusta Drive. For more information or to make your reservation for this book signing, please call (713) 977-1400.
