You are in for a treat! Mary Lou Sanelli, author, speaker, and master dance teacher, will be reading, sharing, answering questions and signing books at 4pm October 19th BookTree 609 Market St. Kirkland, Wa.

The Seattle Times said, "What Sanelli does in front of an audience is easier to recognize than it is to define."

In her latest book,' In So Many Words ' a collection of essays about living in the Northwest, Sanelli tackles both the large and small struggles many of us face on a daily basis, while always managing to leave us feeling less worried, certainly less alone, and much more hopeful. These relevant and frequently funny essays remind us that the simple act of paying attention to what happens around us can make a profound difference in how we view the world and ourselves. This is Sanelli’s twelfth book. She has previously published seven collections of poetry (including a children's book), three works of nonfiction, and one work of fiction.

The Facebook Event Page is Here! Thanks for sharing!
