First Fridays in Skippack Village - 2012

MEET THE AUTHOR & BOOK SIGNING 


First Friday:  March 2, 2012
 5 – 9pm 

Join us for First Friday and meet Steve O’Driscoll, author of 
Rendezvous in Quebec.

There will be a wine and cheese reception for your enjoyment.  Stop in for some good conversation and you can purchase a signed copy of the paperback for $15. 

Rendezvous in Quebec (http://amzn.com/B006YC5SLY) takes you on a journey where you will learn what two ex-athletes (turned house painter and insurance agent), two gay French-Canadian tour guides, two public school teachers, an apartment manager, and a beautiful underemployed model, have in common.

You will discover how this potpourri of personalities intersects in Connecticut, Rhode Island, Albany, and Philadelphia, which ultimately produces a Rendezvous in Quebec.

Along the way, the reader discovers what motivates each member of the eight conspirators to plan and participate in a dangerous undertaking that would change their lives forever.
