I had a great time at the Italian-American Festival yesterday! I was one of the featured authors with Victorious Woman! Shaping Life’s Challenges into Personal Victories along with children’s book author Pat Mariani (And Baby Makes A Family), vampire novelist James Vanore (Grave Departure) and cookbook authors Lorraine Ranalli (Gravy Wars) and Janet Zappala (My Italian Kitchen).

I met Janet in NY last month and she’s great! Her daughter was serving a pesto spread on crackers – a sampling. It was wonderful. I’m itching to try Janet’s roasted red pepper gravy. I’ll keep you posted when I do. All the books are available online.
