Books and Bagels Signing EventSunday, March 22 Fancy Bagels 405 Queen St, Southington, Connecticut 06489 (860) 621-0055 Fancy Bagels customers can purchase books along with their favorite bagels. The store is hosting a book signing with me and Alexandra Amoroso. Amoroso’s book, Camelot… What It Was and How It Ended, chronicles the Assassination of John F. Kennedy and its aftermath. She points out that part of her fascination with President Kennedy is the fact that he and Bruno Gualtieri, the grandfather of her aunt, store manager, Jackie Gaultieri’s, were friends who corresponded and exchanged greeting cards with each other. Amoroso worked at the store for two years before going to college. I am a long-time customer and friend of Jackie and her son, store owner, Dom. I consider Fancy Bagels the best in Connecticut and even featured the business in my latest novel, Wounded Angels. Both of us will be on hand from 8:00 am to 1:30 pm on March 22 to sell, sign and personalize our books. Even better, those who purchase books will receive coupons for a free bagel items. More information on Fancy Bagels is available online at https://www.facebook.com/fancybagel/ and on Alexandra Amoroso at https://www.facebook.com/alexandra.amoroso Wounded Angels: The Story Behind the Story March 25, 2020 from 10:30 am to noon.
Bristol Senior Community Center 240 Stafford Avenue, Bristol CT, 06010 860-584-7895 http://www.ci.bristol.ct.us/257/Senior-Center Free and open to the public. The senior center asks that if you are not a current senior center member, please call 860-584-7895 to register so that they can accommodate everyone. This is the place that started it all. The Bristol Senior Center (BSC) is where the people and events came together to inspire Wounded Angels. I spent three years on-site at the BSC researching, rewriting and interacting with the center members to make sure that the story was as authentic as possible. What better place to hear segments of the story than in the location where they actually happened both in the book and, in many cases, in real life.
