Vroman’s: Local Author Day featuring Sally Stevens, Michael D. Meloan, and Emma Gazley

October 29, 2023 @ 4:00 pm

In-Person Event Free
Local Author Day

Sally Stevens presents I Sang That: A Memoir from Hollywood

It’s a personal journey behind the scenes with this singer/lyricist/choral director into the world of music makers who created the film scores, television music, sound recordings, commercials, and concert evenings over the last sixty years. She has worked with some of the best composers and artists and shares her fascinating journey.

Michael D. Meloan presents Pinball Wizard

“Are you the Pinball Wizard or the pinball?” asks Ralph’s manager inside a nuclear-hardened bunker in England. That is the question driving Michael D. Meloan’s new novella–a story of love, sex, jets, and Bukowski.

Lights flash and bells ring as Ralph is buffeted between a controlling father, international intrigue in the US defense industry, and a friendship with the writer Charles Bukowski. A wild girlfriend also ratchets up the action.

But in the end, it is Ralph’s turn at the controls.

 

Emma Gazley presents For Those Who Cannot Live or Die

What does it mean to live? To die? A young woman wrestles with her ancestors, her daemons, and her faith after plunging into the mysteries of illness and memory. This collection of poetry will leave you in awe, with inspiration, and daring to ask deeper questions surrounding your own experiences and existence.
