Come out and meet over twenty local authors, while tasting a variety of award-winning local wines, at the first ever, "Get Read!! Local Author Exhibition”. The event will take place on Saturday, May 9 from 11:00 am to 4:00 pm at Dark Star Cellars located at 2985 Anderson off of Highway 46 West.

There is no cost to attend the Exhibition and enjoy the grounds, vineyard views, taco bar and other treats, however there is a charge for a full wine tasting, which is waived with a wine purchase. Dark Star is also offering wine club prices with any book purchase.

Interacting with authors offers readers and wine lovers the chance to purchase that perfect book, by getting to know the “story behind story”. All different genres will be represented, from memoirs, self-improvement and other nonfiction works to romance, thrillers and poetry. Books will be available for readers of all ages, and make an excellent last-minute gift for Mothers’ Day.

“There are so few opportunities for independently published, local authors to promote their work and interact with the greater community, that I wanted to create a venue to bring readers and writers together,” says local sci-fi author and co-event planner, TJ Clark. “What’s not to love about it? Readers can pick up a great book and the perfect bottle of wine to take home with them. The only thing missing is the chocolate.”
