Marion author Roxy Taylor to celebrate national book launch with '80s roller skating party
The launch of Roxy Taylor’s new novel “Claimed by the Orc King” will not take place at Bigfoot Books & Brews. Instead, it will take place on Tuesday, Nov. 3, at 5 p.m. at Marion Hot Wheelz at the Larry D. Miller Business Complex. It will be a 1980s-style roller skating event.
Taylor’s new book is published by Bramble, an imprint of Macmillan Publishers, one of the “Big Five” publishing houses in the United States.
“Launching ‘Claimed by the Orc King’ here in Marion just feels right,” author Roxy Taylor said. “These are the people I see at the grocery store, my friends, my neighbors, my family, and getting to kick off something this big surrounded by the people who are part of my everyday life means a lot to me."
A local author will celebrate the national release of her new novel with an upcoming 1980s-style event.
Bigfoot Books & Brews is the official bookseller for the national book launch of Marion author Roxy Taylor’s new novel “Claimed by the Orc King.”
The launch of this new novel will not take place at Bigfoot Books & Brews. Instead, it will take place on Tuesday, Nov. 3, at 5 p.m. at Marion Hot Wheelz at the Larry D. Miller Business Complex. It will be a 1980s-style roller skating event.
Taylor’s new book is published by Bramble, an imprint of Macmillan Publishers, one of the “Big Five” publishing houses in the United States. Skating at the event will cost just $3, and there will be a cake table, a prom photo wall, and much more ’80s-themed fun.

This is a free event, but RSVP in advance is requested. You can do so at www.bigfootbooksnc.com/events/roxy-taylor-claimed-by-the-orc-king-official-book-launch-nov3.
Stephen Knight, co-owner of Bigfoot Books & Brews, says, “It’s not every day that a local author gets to have a national book launch event put on by one of the Big Five publishing houses in the country — and it takes place right here in downtown Marion! This is going to be a very special event with a very fun author for a very unique book.”
“Launching ‘Claimed by the Orc King’ here in Marion just feels right,” Taylor said. “These are the people I see at the grocery store, my friends, my neighbors, my family, and getting to kick off something this big surrounded by the people who are part of my everyday life means a lot to me. The book may not be everyone’s favorite style of grits, but I’m really happy I get to celebrate bringing it into the world at home.”
