Authors' Panel was a bonding experience

As an author and widely-published poet, my first panel event at Sierra Madre Library was such an enjoyable event. There was none of the competitive feeling I used to feel at performances and readings when I was younger. Everyone there was so supportive of one another.

I feel a strong kinship with the other writers. Not one of us is like the others. Our books are radically different, and they ways in which we approach writing and publishing are not the same either.

The authors who spoke were:-

- Ira Baumgarten - Marcielle Brandler - Lisa Di Vita - Dianne Dixon - Linda La Roche - Susan Lendroth - Susanna Lo - Beth Navarro-

Anthony Portantino presented our wonderful librarian Meegan Tosh with a certificate for the library.

The event was organized by Meegan and Lisa Bowman, also our librarian.

I just want to thank everyone for such a lovely event.

Professor Marcielle Brandler
