Hi Megan,

I'll be reading from my new memoir, The Possibility of Everything (www.thepossibilityofeverything.com) and talking about memoir writing at Warwick's Books in La Jolla at 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday, November 10. Hoping that you can make it--would love to meet some SheWrites members in the San Diego area. I'm up in LA, myself.
All best,
Hope
