Emily Gallo : Venice Beach

 

Chico novelist, screenwriter, and blues pianist Emily Gallo turned one of her screenplays into a novel about an Irish writer who moves from New York to Los Angeles to his daughter Kate. He befriends some of the Venice Beach oddballs like Bella, a hoarder and Holocaust survivor, and Jed with his cat named Mother.  

Nancy Wiegman has a master's degree in French linguistics from Indiana University and taught yoga and foreign languages at CSU Fresno and the College of Charleston before moving to Chico in 1990.
