Join us on Wed 10/21 LIVE at 7pm Eastern on the @friendsandfiction Facebook page and YouTube channel as @pattichenry, @marykayandrews & I welcome the multi-million copy bestselling author of THE TIME TRAVELER'S WIFE @aaniffenegger to discuss our October 2026 Pick of the Month, LIFE OUT OF ORDER, her exhilarating new speculative story set in a dystopian future where virtual reality and real life converge.

Audrey Niffenegger is a visual artist and writer whose book art, prints, and paintings are included in the collections of the National Museum of Women in the Arts, the Art Institute of Chicago, the Newberry Library, and the Library of Congress. A former Professor at Columbia College, she helped found their Chicago Center for Book and Paper Arts, and also founded Artists Book House, a non-profit center for the literary and book arts. She has published eight books, including the novels THE TIME TRAVELER'S WIFE and HER FEARFUL SYMMETRY, as well as the graphic novels RAVEN GIRL and THE NIGHT BOOKMOBILE. A modern classic that has captivated readers worldwide, THE TIME TRAVELER'S WIFE has been adapted into a film, an HBO series, and a West End stage musical. We are eager to talk to her about LIFE OUT OF ORDER, an epic genre-bending tale told through a kaleidoscope of perspectives, that moves through a boundless, unfolding universe of virtual reality, and skims the wildest reaches of technology and the natural world.

Watch the LIVE video broadcast of this interview as it airs or catch the audio version on our podcast Fri 10/23.

A police letter reaches Sabina Turpin1 in coastal Oregon. Detective Monte Barker9 of the Ogden, Utah department explains that officers recovered the badly damaged body of a seventeen-year-old girl, possibly Andrea Beaumont,2 a teen reported missing three months earlier. Because standard identification failed, he requests a DNA sample from Sabina1 for comparison and encloses a collection kit.

Sabina1 is the girl’s birth mother, who surrendered her in a closed adoption at sixteen and was never notified when Andrea2 vanished. The clinical, procedural tone of the request collides with its unbearable subject: a mother asked to prove, through cells and swabs, whether a mutilated stranger in a morgue is the daughter she gave away.

An exquisite historical odyssey about three ordinary people ensnared in World War I’s chaotic aftermath. Though strangers at first, their fates will entwine indelibly in their life-or-death quests for refuge, family, and meaning.

Marnie Miller loves her job as a broadcaster on the iconic Hockey Nation postgame show. She’s sharp, polished, and used to being underestimated. But nothing tests her composure like former NHL defenseman Parker Landry, whose blunt commentary and massive ego ignite a fiery on-air feud.

When a freak Zamboni accident lands Parker in the hospital

As a creative, I used to get jealous of another writer’s success, if it was a byline or a story I felt I could have had. But that feeling didn’t make me any better. Instead, I had to identify MY lane and own it — I loved hearing how author Patti Callahan Henry navigates this too, with confidence and intention.

We’ve been so lucky to host several authors at @opelikalibrary over the past few weeks 📚

On October 1st John T. Edge gave a beautiful talk about the tension of growing up in the South and how he wrestled with those ideas through his own family’s story in his most recent book, House of Smoke.

Then on October 14th, Christina Baker Kline and Patti Callahan Henry joined us for a delightful conversation about Christina’s new book, The Foursome.

If you enjoyed these talks, we can’t wait for you to see what we have planned for @opelikabookfestival in February 📚
