You know how much I love Italy – and Italians — and I know I’m not alone!  Oregon has a thriving Italian-American community and the Tuscan Association of Oregon has invited me to share about Bianca’s Vineyard on Sunday, February 20.  I will be speaking in Calvin Hall at St. Phillip Neri Church on SE 16th and Division in Portland.  The meeting starts at 3:00.  If you live in the area, come and be a part of this exciting community and hear about how the story of Bianca’s Vineyard was birthed.  A book-signing will follow.  For more information, contact Joe Cavelli at 503.929.0132 and if you think you will be able to attend, please e-mail me at neumanntd@gmail.com so I can give Joe a head count.   PS – I’m hoping Violenza will be able to come.  If so, she’ll be signing books too!
