Join me on April 9 at 6 pm at Sausalito Books by the Bay for an author conversation with bookshop proprietress Cheryl Potts — about the Sausalito “houseboat wars,” turning true events into a play and then a novel and whatever else she or audience members ask about. I’ll also read an excerpt or two from Pirates of Sausalito Houseboat Wars Murder Mystery, which is fiction, but based on true events.
There’s free parking next to the store, which is next to the ferry terminal. There will be wine.


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
