For International Women's Day Book Launch at Chancery Art Gallery

For International Women's Day, I gave a talk and video presentation at the Chancery Art Gallery in Bracebridge. Nice crowd.

Then I read 3 of my poems from my debut collection, From the Rim of the Bowl. On the table are my new Poetry Books, new Chicken Soup Mothers and Daughters and my first novel, Carol A Woman's Way. It was a very successful evening. I'm still glowing.
