Anat Tour and Amanda Matti at Cultural Expo at Marriott
I am honored to have written reviews of subject author's books, who will appear at the Cultural Arts Expo at the Courtyard Marriott in El Cajon on November 9th, where these two subject authors will sign and sell their books. Although a bit biased, I can assure you that you will enjoy meeting Anat Tour and Amanda Matti, and reading their books.
