The 17th Annual Signatures Author Series will feature author Taylor Jenkins Reid of Malibu Rising, Daisy Jones and the Six, The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo, and more.

The John Cooper School Signatures Author Series luncheon is an annual event that has featured many national best-selling authors through the years. The luncheon also features local authors, book signings, and a Signatures-themed drawing.

DMA Arts & Letters Live will welcome in Taylor Jenkins Reid, who will be in conversation with Susan Ayotte Norman from SMU.

Reid's new book, Atmosphere, is set against the backdrop of the 1980s space shuttle program. Joan Goodwin, obsessed with stars as long as she can remember, is content with her life as a professor of physics and astronomy at Rice University. This all changes when she comes across an advertisement seeking the first women scientists to join NASA’s space shuttle program.

Selected from a pool of thousands of applicants, Joan begins training at Houston’s Johnson Space Center, alongside an exceptional group of fellow candidates. As the new astronauts become unlikely friends and prepare for their first flights, Joan finds a passion and a love she never imagined. In this new light, she begins to question everything she thinks she knows about her place in the observable universe. Then, in December of 1984, on mission STS-LR9, it all changes in an instant.

Reid is the No. 1 New York Times bestselling author of nine novels, including Carrie Soto Is Back, Malibu Rising, Daisy Jones & The Six, and The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo.
