Local Author Brings a Family Mystery to Salt & Story Bookstore This Saturday
NICEVILLE, Fla. — Author Brigid Kennedy will sign her debut novel, LOST: The Lost City of Incan Gold, at Salt & Story Bookstore on Saturday, June 27, from 11 AM to 2 PM. The bookstore is located at 1103-B E John Sims Pkwy in Niceville.
The novel is the first in Kennedy’s historical fantasy series, Of Irish Myths & Incan Legends, and it began with a true family mystery. Kennedy’s great-grandfather, an Irish treasure hunter, married her great-grandmother at a monastery in Arequipa, Peru, in 1910, then disappeared into the Amazon and never returned. A century later, Kennedy says, her grandmother came to her in a dream and asked her to write the family’s story.
So she did. A violin teacher by profession, Kennedy traded her bow for a pen and wrote a series that braids the Celtic legends of Ireland with the lost gods of the Inca, all rooted in her own heritage. LOST launched in March 2026 with a full-cast audiobook featuring 21 character voices and has earned more than 77 five-star reviews.
Kennedy, who summers on Florida’s 30A, will be at Salt & Story to meet readers, share the story behind the book, and sign copies.
“Meet the Author: Brigid Kennedy” takes place Saturday, June 27, 11 AM to 2 PM, at Salt & Story Bookstore, 1103-B E John Sims Pkwy, Niceville, FL. The event is free and open to the public.
