Fans are welcome to bring books from home to have signed or to purchase books here. Refreshments and beverages are also available for purchase throughout the event. Please, no outside food or drink.
About the authors:
Isabel Peña Alfaro: In the vibrant landscape of contemporary literature, Isabel Peña Alfaro interweaves her rich Mexican American cultural heritage into her storytelling in Taming Jackal, her debut novella. A prolific writer, Isabel’s work appears in TIME, Fast Company, and Fortune, and she runs a B2B content writing business. When she puts the pen down, Isabel is training clients at the gym, lifting weights, or walking her puppy Justino. She lives in the Hudson Valley.
Jeff Golden has been teaching and writing for over thirty years, most recently at Vassar College. He was a Fulbright Scholar in sustainable development and has headed several nonprofits promoting social justice and sustainability. A native of Idaho, he resides in New York, with his children, the river, and the stars. Reclaiming the Sacred draws on the work of thousands of scientists, poets, activists, and more to explore what science reveals about the things that most nourish human well-being, and the dire consequences of the vast materialism in the US today, particularly the global climate disaster. And then it takes us on a journey of reclaiming the sacredness of ourselves and this gorgeous world.
Steven Morelli was a seasoned lawyer with over forty years of experience, he began his illustrious career on the very Wall Street firm depicted in Central Park. Influenced by luminaries such as John Foster Dulles and Allen Dulles, Steven's deep connection to the narrative shines through in his intricate detailing of lower Manhattan's bygone eras and his intimate portrayal of Italian life. Drawing from rich family tales in Palombara Sabina, Italy, Morelli crafts a narrative as personal as it is universal.
