Join me and other local authors at Orinda Books tomorrow for book talks and lots of book conversation.

The bookstore’s first Local Author Festival is from 1 to 2:30 p.m. Refreshments will be served. Orinda author and entrepreneur Tamara Monosoff will be there to talk about ways authors can market themselves and boost sales of their books.

Orinda Books is at 276 Village Square, Orinda, California. See you there!
More about my bookstore events at “What If You Threw a Book Launch and Everybody Came?”  Also, “The Author Talked — And So Did the Audience.”  More about “Wrestling with God” at WrestlingWithGodBook.com.
