PISA LOVES BELLA LAUNCH PARTY

Ciao! It's time to celebrate the launch of my first picture book PISA LOVES BELLA: A TOWERING TALE OF KINDNESS. And what better way to celebrate writing, friendship, kindness, and travel to Italy than with some prosecco?!

Mamma Mia this is going to be fun!

Drop by Sausalito Books by the Bay in downtown Sausalito, CA on August 7, 2024, at 6 p.m. where talented writer and podcast host Matthew Felix and bookstore owner Cheryl Popp will host a short program that includes a Q&A, reading, signing...and did I mention the prosecco?

Books will be available in-store or can be ordered online.

I hope to see you there.
