Calahan Skogman discusses and signs BLUE GRAFFITI at B&N The Grove at Barnes & Noble The Grove – Los Angeles, CA

Join Barnes & Noble – The Grove at Farmers Market on September 7, 2025, at 11:00 am as we welcome Shadow and Bone actor Calahan Skogman to the store to discuss and sign his debut novel Blue Graffiti. An intimate reflection on the love, faith, and tragedy that courses through the blood of America’s backbone, Skogman’s poetic debut is brimming with an essential freedom, romance, and longing for a bygone era. Calahan will be in conversation with Ben Barnes, fellow actor and co-star of Shadow and Bone.

Cash has never known anything beyond the fields of Johnston, WI—never particularly wanted to, either. Why would he when his friends are there, his work is there, his history is there? But when an emerald-eyed stranger named Rose blows into town one summer evening in his favorite local bar, everything changes. It’s love at first sight. For Cash, anyway. Declared “an emotional and utterly romantic—in the truest sense of the word—debut” by writer Emily Henry, you won’t want to miss your chance to pick up a signed copy of Blue Graffiti.
