Multi-published Vanilla Heart Publishing Authors Chelle Cordero and Charmaine Gordon, both Rockland County residents, will be at Palaia Vineyards on Friday night, July 31, 2015, 6:00PM to 8:00PM to read from their books, host an interactive discussion of the stories and the writing process, and sign book copies.

Kimberlee Williams, Managing Editor at Vanilla Heart Publishing, said “Our VHP Dynamic Duo certainly promises to be entertaining and make for a fun-filled evening at Palaia Vineyards.” Vanilla Heart Publishing is an independent publisher based in Washington State.

Palaia Vineyards is named for the winemaker’s grandfather, Angelo Palaia, who emigrated here from Italy and passed his winemaking skills on to his son and grandson. Over ten acres of vineyards are situated on a 200-year old Hudson Valley former dairy farm. The old barn has been restored and is now a beautiful, clean winery on the lower level, with storage and a tasting room above preserving the look and feel of the historical building.

Palaia Vineyards is located at 10 Sweet Clover Road in Highland Mills, Orange County, New York; it’s easy to get to by car, the vineyard is five miles north of the Woodbury Commons Outlet Stores on Route 32. The phone number is (845) 928-5384. (for directions)

Writers just want to have fun

<

“But why would you want to help someone do
something that puts them into competition with you?”
I was recently asked that question after a stranger overheard my enthusiasm about teaching an upcoming writing workshop… but you see I don’t see how helping other aspiring writers enjoy their craft is competition. I see it as helping to create a word of communication.
If you have a Kindle then you can subscribe to my weekly writing workshop,
Living, Breathing, Writing from Amazon blogs ~ there is a new lesson every Friday
Even if you don’t have a Kindle, you don’t have to miss out. You can download

Living Breathing, Writing: A Lesson a Day

for a full month of lessons, exercises and prompts
By the way, that writing workshop I was speaking so enthusiastically about is happening on September 21, 7pm, at the Suffern Free Library
