Debra Ollivier & Karen Karbo at the next Pen on Fire Speakers Series
Save the date!
Sept. 26, 7 p.m.
Book launch party for authors Debra Ollivier and Karen Karbo. They join publicist Kim Dower and me in conversation about their books, writing nonfiction and to celebrate their book launch.
Debra Ollivier is the author of What French Women Know: About Love, Sex, and Other Matters of the Heart and Mind, and Entre Nous: A Woman’s Guide to Finding Her Inner French Girl. Her work has appeared in the best-selling anthology Mothers Who Think and Because I Said So. She has written for Harpers, Salon, Playboy, The Guardian, Parents, and Le Monde, among others. She lived in France for ten years and currently resides with her family in Los Angeles, where she is at work on a historical novel.
Karen Karbo is the author of three novels, all of which were named New York Times Notable Books; four works of non-fiction—including How to Hepburn, which the Philadelphia Inquirer called “an exuberant celebration of a great original,” and The Stuff of Life, a People Magazine Critic’s Choice—and three books for young adults. Her essays, articles, and reviews have appeared in the New York Times, Outside, Elle, Vogue, More, and Salon.com. She lives in Portland, Oregon, where she is still hunting for a piece of vintage Chanel couture.
Kim Dower is famed Los Angeles publicist, Kim-from-L.A., an author and a poet.
