Be Our Valentine: An evening of bittersweet love songs and readings Hosted by Heliotrope Books
About This Show
Music Performers: Leah Wells and Sara Banleigh
Novelists: Seth Kanor, Dara Lebrun, and Sonia Pilcer
Dara Lebrun’s novel will be read by Kimberly Merritt and Patricia McNamara
In 2013 we started to bring music to our author readings at book launches. Spoken words, no matter how masterfully crafted, can be difficult for a live audience to absorb. Interstitial music and performed dialog bring action and liveliness to a reading. The Valentine’s Day performance features three bittersweet love scenes from novels, interspersed with Leah Wells’ ballads of heartache and passion.
