The first annual Surf City Author Fest is on May 9, 2026 in front of the Central Library from 10 am to 4 pm.
I’m moderating a panel at 2 pm with five other local authors.
Free festival, but you have to buy books!
Lots of cool giveaways.

Hi Mary,
I found you via Victoria Waddle’s substack and now followi ng you there. I have a baby podcast I call beta and wonder if you’d like to appear? It’s aimed at writers who found their writing voice in midlife. It’s a ‘celebratory kind of vibe’ applauding those who carved out careers later. Also we zoom in on how prior focus informs your writing life. I see you’re in HB-raised my kids in Newport and wrote for regional pubs for many years.
Here’s the link to Marla Miller Talks to Authors and Content Creators. I interviewed Vic a few weeks ago. [Link deleted]
I see your connection to She Writes…I invited Brooke W. in 2013? to my workshop at Santa Barbara Writers Conference.
Be well in these troubled times.

Hi Marla
Your podcast sounds interesting. For some reason the links you attached were deleted.
Please let me know more about how this would work. And thanks for reaching out.
Mary
