Book Signing with Mary Belle
Wednesday, August 28th
5:00 PM - 9:00 PM
. . . .
Mary Belle is an Italian-American indie author of contemporary romance. She writes relatable love stories with equal parts spice and humor, has been featured on the cover of East Fishkill Living Magazine with her family, and as a guest on the No Snooze Podcast. She lives with her husband and daughter in New York, where she celebrates all of life's moments (quite literally all of them) with a good meal.
. . . .
A not-so-one-night-stand with a hot polizia in Rome? Say less and pass the Aperol spritzes, please. Mia, an Italian-American from New Jersey, heads to Italy on vacation and accidentally finds herself in Gennaro's bed. Whoops. Is it a fling? Is it the real thing? Their ability to "live in the moment" is put to the test as they explore two epic weeks together before battling the five thousand miles, and the strong-willed family members, that separate them. "Vivi il Momento" and "Bella Vita" come together for a modern day version of the classic movie, "Under the Tuscan Sun," combined with Netflix's"From Scratch" and a milder "365 Days." It's an unforgettable love story filled with heart, romance, and powerful life lessons.
