Fans in the greater Los Angeles area (that is to say, a good part of SoCal) will be pleased to know that Gail and Donna Ricci, familiar to all as the model for Alexia Tarabotti on the covers of SOULLESS, CHANGELESS, and BLAMELESS, will be hosting a tea in Pasadena on Sunday, April 10, 2011. Full details will be provided to ticket holders; tickets are limited.

Gail will be happy to answer questions and sign books at the event. She highly recommends that hats be worn. Stylish, silly — so long as they’re memorable.
