If in NYC, join me at this year’s Memoir-a-thon sponsored by Brooklyn Reading Works! It’s the first time I’ll be reading with my hubby, graphic designer/writer Marco Acevedo.  Deets:

Memoirathon at The Old Stone House (Third Street & Fifth Avenue in Park Slope), Feb 11 @ 8pm

And a note from the organizers about this year’s theme:

A lot of New Yorkers have their own recession story to tell, whether it’s from the past year, the past decade or the accumulation of a lifetime.

During this year’s Memoir-a-thon, you will get to listen to the personal reflections and insights on how some writers have managed to survive, preserve their sanity and even have fun during hard times.

You’ll be amazed to discover just how resilient and resourceful people can be, while still managing to find humor, cause for reflection and even gratitude, in some of life’s most challenging situations.

Whether you found the past year “the year you’d like to forget” or “the year of positive thinking”, you will be inspired and entertained by tonight’s lineup of writers who talk about infinitely new ways of being.
