In conversation with Kate Mulgrew at The Chapel in San Francisco. Details and tickets here.
We know Kate Mulgrew for the strong women she’s played–Captain Janeway on Star Trek; the tough-as-nails “Red” on Orange is the New Black. Now, we meet the most inspiring and memorable character of all: herself. By turns irreverent and soulful, laugh-out-loud funny and heart-piercingly sad, BORN WITH TEETH is the breathtaking memoir of a woman who dares to live life to the fullest, on her own terms.

Erotic Shipwreck with Daniel Handler (aka Lemony Snickett) at The Booksmith. I can’t really explain Shipwreck.

Lemony Snicket himself will read the stories, and the crowd, hopefully two sheets to the wind, will judge. Did I mention the open bar?
