Miami's Eight Day Literary Party

Miami’s Eight Day Literary Party
           

            The schedule for Miami Book Fair International 2017 is out and you can find it at https://www.miamibookfair.com. The fair, which runs from November 12 through November 19, offers eight days of author and children’s author presentations, amazing entertainment, cooking demonstrations, parties and an author/publisher street fair.

           Here is just a taste of the amazing talent. The kick-off begins with former CBS anchor and managing editor, Dan Rather, who will speak on Sunday, November 12 at 6 pm.  MSNBC’s host of The Last Word, Lawrence O’Donnell will speak on Monday, November 13 at 7 pm. O’Donnell was also an award-winning producer and writer for The West Wing television series and is the author of the novel Deadly Force.

            Well-known Chilean author Isabel Allende (The House of Spirits, Eva Luna) will give a presentation on her new book In In The Midst of Winter on Wednesday, November 15 at 6pm. Elliot Ackerman, a White House Fellow and Marine who served five tours of duty in Iraq and Afghanistan and who received The Silver Star, The Bronze Star of Valor and The Purple Heart, will talk about his books Green on Blue and Dark At The Crossing. He is a National Book Award Finalist. (All of the above are ticketed events. Be sure to go online to The Miami Book Fair to reserve seats.)

            Get a sneak peak of Miami Light Project’s “The Bearded Ladies” in collaboration with Miami Theatre Center at The Porch (corner of NW 2nd Avenue and NW 3rd Street) on Monday, November 13 at 7:00pm.  The project features cabaret artists who tackle the politics of gender, identity and artistic intention. There will be plenty of other music and poetry events as well.

            And best of all, I will be launching my break-out, adult novel The Purple Bowtie on Saturday, November 18 from 10am to 6pm on Writer’s Row. Buy the book at http://getbook.at/purplebowtie







 You can also pick up a copy of my children’s book Sakiwinki the Monkey Saves the Animals. Learn more about it on Facebook at SakiwinkitheMonkey or on the website http://www.lizzielovetheclown.com. This makes a great gift for the grand kids.  Don’t miss the fun! Come and visit me at my booth.
