The next featured reading at Koffi in Rancho Mirage will be December 16th at two o’clock. This month features poet Lois Batchelor and author Judith L. Butler. This will end our three years at Koffi as a new space has opened for us and that is Art Is Gallery in Westfield Mall in Palm Desert. I may forgo January as I need to line up readers for 2018. Luckily at our Holiday Book Fair at the gallery on the 30th I met many authors who are interested in doing a featured reading in the new year. Exciting!
November 30th from 11-5 at Art Is Gallery in the Westfield Mall on the upper level close to Macy’s. Twenty-six local authors selling their books. There are also children books. Books make a wonderful Christmas present and promotes reading! Stop by and see us! I will have a table selling my book Reruns, a collection of poetry and prose. There will be many wonderful local authors! This is a great way to support your local artists!
Two upcoming events:
