BAIPA member and New York Times/USAToday, bestselling author, Ciji Ware, whose latest novel is Landing by Moonlight, will take us back to the 1940s when American women secret agents had no idea whether they’d be dropped behind enemy lines off a submarine, from a fishing boat, or flung through the moonlit sky from a low-flying British Halifax. Ware’s illustrated lecture features newly discovered wartime images of the ‘real’ unsung heroines who enlisted in Britain’s SOE (Special Operation Executive) and America’s OSS (Office of Strategic Services, the precursor of the CIA). 

Members, friends, and the general public are invited to enjoy “Heavy Hors d’oeuvres,” a Cash Bar with Specialty Cocktails, and an evening of convivial company.

Sausalito Woman’s Club is at 120 Central Avenue, Sausalito. A $20 entrance at the door benefits the SWC Preservation Society to maintain the Club’s 102-year-old Julia-Morgan-designed Landmarked building. WW II attire optional.

One of my favorite things about BAIPA is its culture of generosity, the willingness — even eagerness — to share what we have each learned in the process of bringing stories to life. We provide educational programs, networking, marketing opportunities, encouragement, and information on industry vendors and services. And lots of one-on-one advice and mentoring.

We welcome all who have an interest in making connections within the world of independent publishing and learning more about how to publish and sell their work successfully. Together we are raising the standard of independent publishing and helping our members thrive.

Do join us!

—Becky Parker Geist, BAIPA Board of Directors, President
