Sandy Bloom, Lois Duffy, Miriam Karmel, Sherry Roberts and I will read from our novels. There’ll be wine, food and a great opportunity to schmooze with other writers. Homewood Studios is an artists’ workspace and gallery designed for local artists in the belief that the visible presence of working artists contributes to the vitality, self-image and coherence of a community. Check it out, then come along for a stimulating and fun afternoon!

2 pm Sunday, Jan. 19, at Homewood Studios, 2400 Plymouth Ave No., Minneapolis, MN 55411-3606.
