Social media of the public library.
It was a wonderful day at the Ponteilla-Nyls library. I presented my new book, Esperança, exclusively. It exists in two versions, one in French and one in English. This play is set in a historical context. During the discussion, I outlined the steps I had taken, from inspiration to research and then to writing. A member of the audience read an excerpt for the 10th annual Nights of Reading. Esperança will be published very soon, and several copies have already been pre-ordered.
