St. Pete author Gale Massey will be joined in a reading by Matt Lany and other Jacksonville writers from 3-5 p.m. on Saturday, March 17th at Community Café, 2444 Central Avenue, St. Pete, FL 33712 to kick off St. Patrick’s Day in style.
The event is free and open to the public. Books will be available for sale, and the authors will sign copies. They are available for media interviews.
The Southeast Sister Cities Reading Tour concept is simple. Our writers read in your town. Then your writers read in our town.
A group of Jacksonville authors will visit St. Petersburg for this first event. In turn, a group of St. Pete authors will be heading to Jacksonville on April 7th.
This event is co-presented by Wordier Than Thou and Scribbles, with thanks to Community Cafe.
Gale Massey’s stories have appeared in the Tampa Bay Times and Connotation Press, Sabal, Seven Hills Press, and Walking the Edge. Her forthcoming debut novel, The Girl From Blind River, a coming of age crime story set against a backdrop of illegal gambling and small town corruption, will be released by Crooked Lane Books in July.
