Harvey’s Tales Bookshop, 216 James St. in Geneva, will host Geneva-born author Becca Grischow from 1 to 3 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 21, on the patio, according to a news release.

Now living in Chicago, Grischow grew up in Geneva, attended Western Avenue Elementary School and Geneva Middle School South and graduated from Geneva High School.

She’s been a ghostwriter for more than two dozen books, including multiple bestselling romances, according to the release.

“I’ll Get Back To You” is her debut novel, an LGBTQ+ romantic comedy set in Geneva with two former classmates who are gay.

The novel is to be released by Penguin Random House on Sept. 17, but can be preordered online at harveystales.com so Grischow can sign the book when she is there.

The preorder deadline is Sept. 3.

While attending Geneva Middle School South and Geneva High School, Grischow was active in music and theater.

Grischow did a lot of writing, including portions of her debut book, at the now-closed Graham’s 318 Coffee House, which served as the inspiration for the coffee shop featured in her novel.
