Apostrophe Books Hosts Local Author Sundays

Explore stories with the authors who wrote them Sundays at Apostrophe Books in Belmont Shore.

 

Apostrophe Books is hosting a book signing for three area authors Sunday from noon to 6 p.m. as part of its new Local Author Open Table Sundays.

Delve into the pages of books ranging from self-help to science-fiction/fantasy with the writers themselves, who will be onhand to discuss and sign copies of their latest works outside the book store, located at 4712 2nd St. in Belmont Shore. 

The afternoon of literary reverence begins at noon with Jack Roberts, who will share insights about his book, The Science of Affirmations. Employing a step-by-step methodology in the use of affirmations, Roberts shows how to utilize them to achieve desired results.

Roberts will be followed from 2-4 p.m. by Sally Rice as she divulges details about her memoir,

It’s a heartfelt personal account of her own spiritual journey as a mother of three children, one of whom--Sarah Rice--has achieved reality TV stardom with appearances on MTV’s Real World Brooklyn and The Challenge, which has a new season due to premiere this fall.

Wrapping up the event from 4-6 p.m. is Steve Bramble, author of Grid City Overload. Bramble’s work “is a futuristic, fantastical imagining of humanity struggling to adjust to the end of the Information/Technology Era," as described on Apostrophe Books' web site.  

"Full of rich, quirky characters and set in a thrilling, sprawling city that is both strange and familiar, Grid City Overload is a fast-paced exploration of the paper-thin boundaries between reality and technology,” according to Apostrophe Books.

A locally-owned book store, Apostrophe Books welcomes any writers interested in participating in Open Table Sundays to swing by the store for an informational packet.

Additionally, the store regularly hosts events, offers coupons on their web site, sells books discounted from their regular listing prices and will special order titles not included on their shelves free of charge.

Prior to his election as a write-in candidate, Councilman Patrick O'Donnell told the Long BeachRead More Business Journal on February 28, 2012 the following:***** LBBJ: If you win the reelection, will you commit to a full four-year term?***** Councilman O'Donnell: If you run for four, you serve four. ***** LBBJ: So, you're not going to run for Assembly in two years? ***** O'Donnell: Correct. ***** LBBJ: No matter what? ***** O'Donnell: Correct. If you run for four, you serve four. ***** If you can't trust O'Donnell's word, why would anyone vote for him to be their representative for political office? ***** http://www.lbreport.com/news/jan13/odonlbbj.htm

And do his supporters care about this, do you think? No doubt others will.

Regarding, "do O'Donnell's supporters care?", many of O'Donnell's supporters are inRead More elected and appointed public positions, and their support of O'Donnell includes placing the financial burden of a $150,000 special election on the taxpayers. I would think that a responsible journalist would ask each of them about that issue.
This is what the new path will look like.

This opinion piece is so full of self-serving hot air it could float. Two paths will make the beachRead More look like a freeway? The author clearly hasn't seen too many freeways lately. Speaking of seeing, if the author would care to spend a little time looking at the beach (which I do on a daily basis, as I live overlooking the Bluff) they would realize that the current bike/pedestrian path is the most heavily used and enjoyed segment of the beach from the Belmont Pier to Shoreline Village. On any given day, there will be hundreds of people on the paths, compared with a handful on the sand itself. The author inadvertently makes that point when he or she writes that the beach "...should be valued for its own recreational value." Clearly, many more people enjoy walking, running or bicycling on the path than on the beach itself. Give the people what they want, and not what a mysterious, nameless, faceless group is trying to block.

Uh, Richard? Opinion pieces are by nature self-serving and one sided. I'm not saying that is agreeRead More with the opinion, just saying that gordana can have her say.
