Soon Wiley

Bay Area friends and family! I'll be in conversation with legendary rock journalist Ben Fong-Torres at Book Passage Bookstore & Cafe in Corte Madera on Saturday, April 22nd at 6 PM to celebrate the paperback release of When We Fell Apart.

Ben's autobiography, The Rice Room, had a profound impact on me when I was a kid, so it's incredibly special to share this night with him.

Hope to see you there! Info below:
