Both authors will be interviewed on stage by Mercury News columnist Sal Pizarro.

This kick-off event is free and open to the public, with doors opening at 6:45pm. No tickets or reservations are required. Welcoming music will be performed by Del Mar High School Saxophone Ensemble under the direction of William Burkhead.

Copies of the books will be available for purchase, and authors will sign books after the program.
