Brendan Bey’s “Adapt and Overcome, Dear: Oh, Victoria!” to be Exhibited at the 2026 Guadalajara International Book Fair

The self-publishing and book marketing company ReadersMagnet will exhibit “Adapt and Overcome, Dear Oh, Victoria!” by Brendan Bey at the 2026 Guadalajara International Book Fair (Feria Internacional del Libro de Guadalajara, or FIL). The event will take place at Expo Guadalajara in Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico, from November 28 to December 6, 2026.

As the premier book fair among Spanish-speaking countries, FIL Guadalajara draws hundreds of thousands of readers, publishers, and literary agents from over 40 countries. Such an event offers independent authors like Brendan Bey a rare chance to take their stories to a truly global stage.

“Adapt and Overcome, Dear Oh, Victoria!” follows a Kentucky woman and a New York-area man who meet as friends at The Ohio State University in the 1970s and grow into something far deeper. Set against the backdrop of Officer Candidate School and Basic Combat Training, their correspondence carries them through murder, grand theft, assault, and personal loss, testing two careers and two marriages as their bond grows more intimate and their circumstances more desperate. In the end, they must do exactly what the title demands: adapt and overcome.

Drawing on his own experience serving in the US Army, Brendan Bey weaves in the real stories he heard from sergeants and soldiers, grounding the novel’s action and romance in the harder truths of military life in the years following the Vietnam War.
