Author Chat with Mike Radice

Join us to celebrate the launch of our latest title, Glinda’s Ruby Slippers. Author Mike Radice will take questions from readers and tell us about the origins of the book, a historical novel based on the life of Billie Burke, who starred as Glinda the Good Witch in the iconic 1939 film The Wizard of Oz.

Here’s a brief summary of the book:

It’s 1939. The set of the soon-to-be-classic film The Wizard of Oz is alive with tension.

The demanding director has an explosive temper that threatens to erupt anytime something goes wrong. 

The teenage star has a hauntingly beautiful voice, but her youth and naivete keep causing delays on an already pricey production. 

In the midst of it all, aging starlet Billie Burke—wearing her ephemeral “Glinda the Good Witch” gown—watches everything unfold, hoping this movie will rejuvenate her sagging career . . .  and perhaps help her hide a few secrets of her own.

Hope to see you there!
