California, Here I Come!
JOIN ME THIS JULY
WORDS FROM THE REDWOODS SATURDAY JULY 20TH 7 PM
Central and Bay Area California friends: You're invited to the Boulder Creek United Methodist Church for an exciting evening of poetry, prose, and special music. I'll be reading from my new book, Home By Another Road. Other featured readers include Redwood City writer Carol L. Park, and Jade Bradbury, author of the chapbook In the Willing Dirt. Santa Cruz musician Laura Devine Burnett will open the program on her dulcimer.
I'll be selling my two books of poetry, with all proceeds benefitting the church's outreach to children and youth.
Join us at 12855 Boulder St., Boulder Creek, CA, and invite your friends.
