Author Ann Hood at Hermitage Artist Retreat

Author Ann Hood was a delightfully entertaining speaker on the beach & what a gorgeous evening it was on Manasota Key held at the Hermitage Artist Retreat where she has been residing. The book clubs of Manasota Key joined last evening in celebrating this famous author and her latest novel “THE BOOK THAT MATTERS MOST”. Her other recent novels were The Knitting Circle, The Obituary Writer, An Italian Wife, and The Red Thread. Ann Hood had a big voice in bringing her latest book to life for us. There was a huge crowd and it was icing on the cake to have a beautiful west coast sunset as a backdrop and see so many friends of Manasota Key gathered together.

And this is the glorious sunset that arrived as the reading ended…
