The Reading Cellar: Seven Authors, One Unforgettable Evening

Last month, I had the pleasure of attending the inaugural Reading Cellar at Vino Bistro in Sarasota. I left that evening inspired by the warmth in the room and the way authors and readers came together through books.

Now I’m honored to return, this time as one of seven featured authors.

I’ll be sharing the story behind my memoir, Connected: Finding My Truth, alongside Daniel Ortiz, Linda Bleser, Tracey Magruder, Brenda Spalding, Jess Traw, and Barb Jones. Each of us brings a different voice and story, which is part of what will make this evening so special.

I would love to see you there and spend this special evening celebrating books, stories, and community with you.
