Word By Word is fortunate to greet the New Year with two writers featured in an upcoming collaboration entitled Copperfields’ Presents: Redwood Writers Fiction 2017. Starting January 24th and every fourth Tuesday for the following six months, talented writers will share readings from their books from 6:00 to 7:00 at the Montgomery Village Copperfields’ Bookstore.

Patricia V. Davis is familiar to Word By Word fans from the revelations she shared from her first bestseller, Harlot’s Sauce: a Memoir of Food, Family, Love and Loss and Greece. Patricia’s new novel, Cooking For Ghosts is the opening part of a trilogy set aboard the cruise ship, the RMS Queen Mary—which has become a convention center in the Long Beach Harbor. While Jo-Anne Rosen’s engaging fiction collection, What They Don’t Know, anthologizes short pieces that first appeared in literary journals like The Sommerset Review, The Dickens and The Florida Review.
