Great audience turnout and lively Q & A for the Tazia and Gemma book reading and signing at Literati Bookstore in Ann Arbor on July 31. I read narrative passages from the first Tazia section and my daughter Rebecca joined me to read the mother-daughter interview from the first Gemma section. I encourage city residents and visitors alike to visit this premier downtown independent bookstore. Thanks to Literati for hosting and to all who attended the Tazia and Gemma event.
