SUMMARY:Author Event at Winchester Book Gallery
DESCRIPTION:I will be telling stories\, taking questions and signing copies of my new memoir\, Stages: My Life in Stories\, on November 16th\, starting at 11:00am\, at the Winchester Book Gallery in beautiful Winchester\, VA. Come for the books\, stay for the stories. \nAbout the Stages: My Life in Stories:\nIn Stages: My Life in Stories\, spoken-word storyteller Jessica Robinson has collected twenty-five stories that span from her childhood in the eighties to the creation of her own children through IVF. The collection is meant to be read as a memoir in stories. Each story is complete in and of itself\, but represents a different pivotal moment\, a different stage in the life of the storyteller. \n“Jessica’s stories create a work of heart. Each chapter reads like a conversation in which I listen to an old friend’s experiences\, and recognize my own. Thoughtfully written\, presented in pastel touches of humor and pathos\, this book is an appreciation of all the colors of a life.”\n– Lyn Ford\, spoken-word storyteller and author \n“Oh\, this book is subtle and delightful. At first glance\, it’s a memoir\, a collection of amusing\, moving stories that follow the author through her life. As you reach the end of the book\, of course\, you see the larger picture\, like an image arising out of mosaics. \n\nBut it’s also a masterclass on storytelling\, and Jessica Piscitelli Robinson a master storyteller. She holds our attention while using a variety of story forms\, clearly enjoying playing with screenplays and allusions to Greek myths. Each story wraps up perfectly\, making a compelling and complete package.”\n– Author Anne Janzer \n\n\nPublisher Information:\nStages is published by Tucker DS Press\nhttps://www.tuckerdspress.com/books\nAbout The Winchester Book Gallery:\nThe Winchester Book Gallery is the 51-year old\, independent\, locally owned bookstore serving the northern Shenandoah Valley of Virginia.
