Invite your friends to read Rain on the Monte Bello Ridge 🍷🍇

I now have a better way to actually thank those of you who have been routinely reading my work, and spreading the word to others. Here's how:

I love writing and sharing the Gemello Winery stories and Grandma Kay’s centenarian journey, which will be wrapped up in a book in the near future. I started this project (incuding sharing chapters and research monthly online) for a few reasons. One, to hold myself accountable. Second, to allow friends and family to enjoy the uncovered (or often told among a few) stories without being held hostage to a book publisher’s scheduled release date. 

I realize some people are interested in these stories, but don’t love staring at a computer screen or scrolling endlessly on a phone to read long form stories. So I’m making some of these chapters available in a PDF format.

Your support encourages me to keep doing this work and here’s how you can get access to the downloadable PDF chapters.

If you refer friends, you will receive PDFs of chapters of my book as prizes. 🎁 It would mean the world to me if you invited friends to subscribe and read with us.
