Over
the weekend I was invited to participate in Authors on the Move, an event
featuring 40 writers and over 250 guests getting together to eat and drink and
raise money in support of the Sacramento Public Library’s Literary
Foundation. The evening was tons of fun
and - woo hoo - over $100,000 was raised for the Library’s Summer Reading Program.
I met
many writers, but wanted to share information about my tablemates and their
latest work.
Jan
Ellison’s debut novel is A Small Indiscretion, about a woman and her family and
secrets in her past.
Stephen
D. Gutierrez has written three books – his latest is a collection of stories
and essays, The Mexican Man in his Backyard.
John C.
Hampsey is from Pittsburgh (my father’s hometown) and his book, Kaufman’s Hill,
is a memoir about Pittsburgh in the ‘60s.
The
only regret I have is that I wasn’t able to meet more writers or buy more
books. So many books, so little time.
But
take a look at these and enjoy!
