Landolt, a lawyer-cum-chick lit author, will be joined by another law school grad and paperback author, Jo Barrett. The author of The Mens Guide to the Womens Room, Barrett will be reading from her latest title, This Is How It Happened. Unlike Sandra Greene, the heroine of Barretts tale Maddy Piatro had a man. For four years, it was all romance, flowers and incredible sex, on the sly and in secret. But then he dumped her via email! (That is such a man-thing to do.) Poor Piatro is left thirtysomething, brokenhearted and angry. So angry, in fact, that she hires a hit man to make the scumbag ex-boyfriend pay. (Can you spell revenge?) 2 p.m. Borders, 3025 Kirby.
