St. Louis’s best authors are taking part in the SLPA AuthorsSummer Series at Spine Indie Bookstore & Café!

On September 18, Jeff Bender and Sara Schmidt will discuss their published books, be interviewed by local author and Spine founder Mark Pannebecker, and answer questions from the audience:

Jeff Bender has been recognized for his insightful works that promote inclusion, acceptance, and positive change in our community. Jeff's latest books explore the depths of human relationships and understanding. Oh, I Just Didn't Know: 11 Thoughtful Conversations forGrandparents and Grandchildren opens a heartwarming dialogue between generations, while Apparel Has No Gender provides a thoughtful commentary on gender identity and acceptance from the perspective of a father raising a transgender daughter.

Sara Schmidt is a second generation Beatles fan living right outside St. Louis. She started the popular “Meet the Beatles...ForReal” fan site in 2009 and has since authored two books on the Beatles and their fans: Dear Beatle People: The Story of The Beatles North American FanClub and Happiness Is Seeing the Beatles: Beatlemania in St. Louis.

This event will also feature a free raffle to win gift certificates to Spine Indie Bookstore & Café (limit one entry per attendee). Authors’ books will be available for purchase.
