Julia Sinn, Event Coordinator (and also Vinnie’s Pure Power Yoga teacher) introduces her. Note the slides of Cuba running before the reading, accompanied by music from Omara Portuondo of Buena Vista Social Club fame. Amazing rum cake, strong enough to make you tight, was served.

At the podium and ready to entertain. Check out the Sisters in Crime tee, the nifty misterio press mug, and the gift basket, won by the lucky person with “Hemingway” taped on the bottom of her seat.

A good-sized crowd, thanks to winning a Trifecta of local publicity–a pop out in the Good Times calendar, a listing in the Sentinel’s Coast Lines, and a “Best Pick” in The Guide.
