Reading New Work at Literary Nights with Unsolicited Press

I had a surprise opportunity Wednesday night when one of the scheduled authors for Literary Nights with Unsolicited Press had to cancel. Since I’ve been working on a new novel, I took a chance and shared an excerpt. I was honored to read with Unsolicited Press authors Andy Smart, Matt Daly and Rosalia Scalia, who was the MC. These three always have inspiring words to share.
