Book Launch with Carrie Wittmer of 831 Stories
The holiday season is almost here, and we’re already making our list of things to be excited about. At the very top? A festive evening with Carrie Wittmer of 831 Stories celebrating her latest release, First Famous Christmas!
We’re so excited to welcome Carrie to Cherry On Top—and since this is our very first holiday season, naturally, we’re making a little occasion of it. Consider this your invitation to sip, shop, celebrate, and get into the holiday spirit with us.
Your evening with Carrie will include:
A 45-minute conversation with Carrie about the inspiration behind First Famous Christmas, her writing journey, and life as an author.
A 15-minute Q&A where you can ask Carrie your burning questions.
A meet & greet and book signing following the conversation. Meet Carrie, get your books signed and personalized, and perhaps get a head start on your holiday gifting. (A personalized signed book is always a good idea.)
And because we believe a holiday event should come with a few extra treats…

Meet Carrie Wittmer
Carrie Wittmer is a freelance writer and mirror-selfie taker based in Brooklyn. Her book New Erotica for Feminists: Satirical Fantasies of Love, Lust, and Equal Pay was published by Plume Books in November 2018. First Famous Christmas is her romance debut.
First Famous Christmas
When Marceline Freeze went to Juilliard to study violin, she didn’t expect it to lead to a Best New Artist Grammy. Now, after a whirlwind tour and early-onset fame fatigue, she’s looking forward to a normal Christmas in her snowy North Carolina hometown. But all bets are off the second she walks into My Place, the coffee shop that was her refuge growing up. It’s gotten an infuriating Scandi-chic makeover courtesy of its new owner: Lucas North, the rebellious firestarter she worshipped from afar as a teenager.
Meet Savannah
Savannah, Owner and Founder of Storylines By Sav started her company with a simple goal- to have designs that spark conversation, build connection, and make you feel confident. She is a lifelong reader (and someone who will absolutely cry over fictional characters), and she wanted to create pieces that feel personal, expressive, and a little bit magical.
When Savannah is not doing all things Storylines, you can usually find her at home in Colorado with her husband, Matthew, and their dogs and cats — often with a foster pup in the mix. Sav loves reading, trying new restaurants, Taylor Swift, anything that involves being outdoors, and hanging out with my friends and family.
