COME CELEBRATE THIS SATURDAY - Local Author's first book comes to life with Chesca and the Spirit of Grace
Its amazing how talented people are. Have you ever tried to write a book? Personally, I have a hard time getting my grocery shopping list down on paper (the slips of paper seem to disappear becoming part of my 3 year olds work-of-art of the moment). So, when a friend actually PUBLISHES a book for the whole wide world to enjoy, its time to celebrate.
Lara O'Brien, my friend and author of the new youth fiction novel CHESCA AND THE SPIRIT OF GRACE will be hosting a launch party for the whole Island. Her team bring the magical world of CHESCA alive on SATURDAY, DECEMBER 14th. See info below, we hope to see you and your loved ones!
She is also featured in the MVTimes this week http://bit.ly/19m2Zsp and the Vineyard Gazette today http://mvgazette.com/arts-entertainment or visit her website for her full magical story http://www.laraobrien.com.
