REMINDER: Bookreading and Dinner, THURSDAY, [Santa Cruz]

[Guest guest]

This Thursday, I will be hosting a dinner in Santa

Cruz at Dharma's at 6:30 pm followed by a bookreading

up the street at the Capitola Book Cafe at 7:30 pm.

The book is " One at a Time: A Week in an American

Animal Shelter " by Dianne Leigh and Marilee Geyer.

 

Some people have asked me about what a bookreading is

so I thought I'd explain it. You can read more about

this particular event at:

A bookreading is an opportunity for an author to

showcase his/her book. He/She will often say a few

words about the book and read a small excerpt (or a

few exceprts) from it. This alone is pretty neat

because you get to hear the author's words in the

author's voice. Usually there is also some kind of

show-and-tell or audiovisual display to add to the

experience. Always, there is a question and answer

period where the author and the audience can have a

dialog about the subject material, the research that

went into the book, and any current projects or future

directions for the author and his/her work. After the

Q & A, the author remains available to sign the book and

meet and greet people.

 

(Sometimes there are unexpected treats. John Robbins

showed up to the last bookreading I attended for The

Pig Who Sang to the Moon by Jeffrey Mousaieff Mason.)

Please RSVP to me if you are interested in attending

the dinner. If you are not interested in the dinner,

you can still drop in on the bookreading.

 

Cheers,

Matthew
