Weather-- July 18, 2011
3:52 Chance of precip dropped by The Weather Channel to 10% during our reading times tonight-- fingers crossed, rosary prayed, chicken sacrificed--covering all bases.
12:54 pm As I write this there is a thunderstorm approaching--The Weather Channel says the usual--hail, rain, blah, blah blah. Looking at the radar maps I think it may come thru earlier than they think and pass before showtime. We'll see. Will Tweet, Facebook and post here as things develop.

Coming Up Monday June 20, 2011
The weather held off--in fact the sun came out as we enjoyed four strong Readers last Monday. Steven Schmidt started off with intelligent, thoughtful poetry; Louisa Calio alternated between contemplative poetry and a hilarious essay; Tom Phelan's reading from his new novel was brooding and moving; and Roxanne Hoffman topped off the evening with lyrical, delightful pieces that sent the large crowd home happy--and full of brownies and crumb cake!
We have a very special group of readers this week-- truly a night not to miss!
Coming up this Monday, June 20th, we feature:
Richard Vetere
Richard Vetere wrote the critically acclaimed novel The Third Miracle (Simon & Schuster) called "A thriller from start to finish." by Publishers Weekly and he co-wrote the film adaptation produced by Francis Ford Coppola, directed by Agneiszka Holland and starring Ed Harris.
His new novel Baroque (2010) and his new book of poetry Selected Poems (2011) are both published by Bordighera Press. His new play Last Day will have its world premiere at Gloucester Stage on July 21st. His first young adult play Bird Brain is being published by Dramatic Publishing this year.
Richard has a master's in English Literature from Columbia University and was just been made a Lifetime Member of the Writer's Guild of America East.
Cindi Sansone-Braff
Cindi Sansone-Braff is an entertainer, relationship coach, mystic, professional Tarot card reader and Medium with more than fifteen years experience. She teaches spiritual workshops based on her book "Grant Me A Higher Love", gives lectures in which she shares her own experience of Enlightenment, and gives private Tarot readings throughout the United States and around the world.
She has read Tarot cards at the New York Theosophical Society, and at many corporate events, including those sponsored by Cablevision. She has thousands of clients and many well-known celebrities are among her biggest fans.
She can be heard on radio stations nationwide and throughout Canada.
Cindi has a BFA from the University of Connecticut, and has written several award winning full-length plays, including "Beethoven's Promethean Concerto in C Minor WoO", A Four Movement Music Drama based on Ludwig van Beethoven: the Man, the Myth, the Music; and "Phantom Pain", a riveting theatrical piece about love, fear, and Enlightenment. She lives on Long Island and has one grown daughter, Shana.
Lloyd Abrams
Lloyd Abrams,an avid recumbent bicycle rider and Wheaten Terrier walker, has been writing short stories for over twenty-five years after being involved with the New York City Teachers Writing Project as a participant and later, as a facilitator, back in the 1980s.
Besides his eighty plus stories, he has written vignettes for - and has acted with - the Nassau County Mental Health Players.
Several years ago, Lloyd added poetry and micro-fiction to his repertoire. He has found that poetry gives him a writing experience with more instant gratification and another creative way of using words for catharsis, for self-expression, and for sharing.
Lloyd's poems and stories have been published in several anthologies and local publications.
