Books Inc

November 2017: I return to one of my favorite bookstores in the Bay Area, Books Inc. This event is particularly meaningful because I've bought many books for my daughter here, and right next door happens to be Lula's Chocolates. So the three of us get together and hold a literary/chocolate event—on the day of my birthday no less.

The loveliest surprise of all came when the staff sent me a snapshot of a lovely chalk drawing their resident artist did of the cover of "The Jaguar and the Cacao Tree." It's truly the most beautiful event announcement I've ever been honored with.
