Don’t Miss This Nov. 14 Book Party Celebrating All Things Wild

Anne in Guatemala

 

It’s a jungle out there and I just can’t get enough of it!

Come help me celebrate publication of my story “Why I Still Travel to the Wild” at a book party sponsored by Left Coast Writers. It’s  on Monday evening, November 14, at 6 pm at Book Passage San Francisco store at the SF Ferry Building. (Just one block from Embarcadero BART.)

My story is a reflection on my (some might say stubborn)  determination to continue traveling to remote corners even after my health was compromised by a stroke and autoimmune disease. It’s just out in the  new anthology Chicken Soup for the Soul: Find Your Happiness. 

Join us for wine,  hors d’oeuvres and jungle-y treats plus, reading and a drawing for prizes.  Fellow author Nicole Guiltinan will join me.  It’s free and open to the public. Great opportunity to start your holiday shopping!

Address: Book Passage, 1 Ferry Building, San Francisco, CA 94111    Book Store phone: (415) 835-1020
