This month, Sausalito is opening its new independent bookstore, which is great about supporting local authors. My new novel, Landing By Moonlight, is the first “big” event,on October 27, at 3 pm.

Landing By Moonlight

Come join in the celebration, raise a glass, and meet the new owner, Cheryl Popp, at this “community supported” model of a local bookstore. It’s a refurbished location at 100 Bay Street, on the water overlooking our harbor.  They also sell “objets d’art” for home and gifting, plus “grab’n’go” food to take to a nearby waterfront park.
Our party, however, will have libations and some nibbles (see invite below).  Parking in front or in our adjacent parking lots.
  • WHOAuthor of her 12th novel, CIJI WARE (also a broadcast journalist for 23 years…)
  • WHATLaunch Party for LANDING BY MOONLIGHT: A Novel of WW II  [American women secret agents parachuting into France]
  • WHERE: Sausalito Books by the Bay, a Community-Supported Bookstore, at 100 Bay Street, Sausalito
  • WHY: Because these American secret women agents parachuting into France in 1940-44 were AMAZING!
  • WHEN:  Sunday, October 27 from 3-4:30 pm.

Wine, Nibbles, and Entertainment—ever heard of “Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy?”
(World War II attire is optional.)
P.S. Meanwhile, have a look at some of my research photos on Pinterest.

 

 

 

 

 

Becky Parker Geist, BAIPA President, CEO of Pro Audio Voices Inc and AMPlify Audiobooks

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!
