MEDINA – Buffalo author V. A. Vazquez will start her international book tour for her acclaimed debut thriller, The Death Row Club, with a launch party at Author’s Note, Medina’s independent bookstore, on Wednesday, July 13th at 6:30 p.m., with a second session at 7:30 p.m. due to expected turnout.

Vazquez will discuss and sign her novel and lead an “Is Your Parent a Serial Killer?” quiz as part of the celebration, which will also include themed treats for attendees. Victoria Vazquez, a frequent customer at Author’s Note and regular fixture in its three adult book clubs, chose Author’s Note to host the kickoff celebration for her debut novel, which will not be available anywhere else in the United States until July 14th. Author’s Note anticipates a large turnout and asks attendees to reserve free tickets on their website or by calling the store.

“Victoria Vazquez is beloved at Author’s Note,” says Julie Berry, owner of Author’s Note. “She’s legendary at our book clubs for her humor, her insights, and her heart. She’s truly one of our own, so we’re incredibly excited to see all this global buzz her debut is getting. We can’t wait to give The Death Row Club a world-class sendoff.”

The Death Row Club is a dark, dazzlingly original psychological thriller about a woman invited to an annual weekend getaway for the adult children of serial killers…but when one of the participants ends up dead, they begin to wonder if someone among them might be carrying on the family traditions.

V.A. Vazquez’s debut novel has already been acclaimed receiving a starred review from BookPage saying, “It roped me in from the first chapter and did not untie me until the final page… My favorite part of doing monthly book reviews for BookPage is happening upon an author’s debut novel and finding it to be unputdownable. The Death Row Club is Unputdownable with a capital-U.”

Vazquez’s book is also receiving high praise from fellow authors. New York Times and internationals #1 best selling author, Karin Slaugher says The Death Row Club is “Compelling, provocative, and absorbing. Vazquez thrills with a fresh and unforgettable premise.”
