Dinner with Book Clubs

A wonderful friend, Joanne MacCallum, hosted a fun evening where I spoke to her two book clubs. Emily Corliss is a Cordon-bleu chef, usually cooking at Mozza in Newport, but occasionally lending her talents to private functions. She made all the amazing food you’ll see in the photos below. Joanne is a busy interior designer and you can get a sense of her talents by the incredible tables she arranged.

I loved meeting the book club members. One (an Ender) told me that she’d never read a YA book before mine. I was relieved she loved it or all YA authors could blame me for ruining everything for everyone else.
