We are currently on hiatus until February 2020. Expect some exciting changes when we return, including filmed readings, published author interviews, and a new day and time!

Local Author readings at Elissimo Coffee in Rancho Santa Margarita, California.

Please keep in mind this is a family-friendly environment. All things read must be PG – no sex, graphic violence, or swear words. Books being sold can have these things, so long as the book cover is also PG.

All times are estimates, authors will read in the order listed once the previous is done.. These are the authors that have confirmed thus far.
