House of Vale Experience - the book launch RSVP

Tap to break the seal and step inside

The Del Club at Hotel del Coronado · Sunday, the eighteenth of October

I sat down to write another book about entrepreneurship.

Seventeen books in, I know how that one goes.

The material kept refusing the format.

Some things you live through can only be told as a thriller.

The doors in this book are real.

The house isn’t.

You have been noticed

On the eighteenth I will be in that room for two hours.

There is no podium, and no line to stand in.

There is a desk. I will be at it.

But…

The evening begins here, not at the door.

In the novel, the invitation arrives without ever being requested.

A black invitation sealed with the gold VT emblem

So did this one.

You have been invited

The Club chose from its membership.

The author chose the rest.

There is no third way into this room.

Not a book launch. The room where one happens.

A chapter of this novel is set inside this hotel.

For two hours, the rest of it will be.

The room will tell you things about this hotel.

Some of them are true.

No one will tell you which.

There is a room inside the room. Nothing on it says so.

Some of you will end the evening inside it.

Yes. I accept. I am unable to attend.

Are you coming alone, or with someone?

One guest. Both names go on the list at the door.

One more thing.

A number is optional. But not everything on the eighteenth is announced from the front of the room.

Two last things.

One is required for admission. The other is not.

I understand the evening will be photographed and filmed, and that images may be used by House of Vale and The Del Club. I'd like to hear from The Del Club about membership.

The Author

Patrick Perrine

Patrick Perrine is a San Diego entrepreneur, investor, and the author of seventeen books. House of Vale: The Selection is his eighteenth book and his first thriller.

It follows a man who spent twenty years learning to read every room he walked into, and never noticed the one that had been reading him since he was a boy. It moves through San Diego, London, Dubai, Kerala, Lake Como and New York — and through one hotel on Coronado.
