Book Talk and Signing in Bellport

Twenty people flocked to @thebellportrestaurant bar Saturday night for a book talk and signing hosted by Fabian Bernal and Justin van Fleet (@goodmorningbellport) for my new book, “My Year With the Italian Girl.” Guests caught up for an hour with drinks, then convened to the back room as van Fleet conducted a Q & A. My novel takes place in #BellportVillage and #Brookhaven hamlet in 1985, featuring the voices of three women who navigate culture, goals, friendship, love, newspaper work, environmentalism and a threatening culprit. The Bellport, @the_gateway and other local landmarks are mentioned in the book. To order: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0B7XHN93Z/.
