WOMBA READING AT CORTE MADERA BOOK PASSAGE--RISK TAKING

Jun.03.2009

When we take risks, we we can set in motion events that shake up our lives—for better or for worse. In our June 7th reading, we explore the theme of risk—of old identities shed for the new, of lives in free fall, of breaking old patterns and doing that which frightens us, and of the unintended risks of acting without thought of consequence. Join us as five authors from Word of Mouth Bay Area explore different aspects of the way taking risks changes our lives and the world around us.

With Jessica Barksdale Inclan, Catherine Brady, Susan Freinkel, Jill Wolfson, Kathi Kamen Goldmark and MC Elizabeth Stark.

There will be raffle tickets given out for any new book purchased at the event, with prizes of book club and writers group visits, manuscript consultation and signed editions from award-winning and best-selling authors.
