Featuring conversations with four local best-selling authors:
Ellen Byron is a USA Today bestselling author, Anthony nominee, and recipient of multiple Agatha and
Lefty awards for her Cajun Country Mysteries, Vintage Cookbook Mysteries, and Catering Hall Mysteries
(as Maria DiRico). She is
also an award-winning playwright and non-award-winning writer of TV hits like Wings, Just Shoot Me,
and Fairly OddParents, but considers her most impressive achievement working as a cater-waiter for
Martha Stewart.
Amber Susa is the author of “Born To Be All Of Me: Moving Out Of Self-Abandonment Into
Authentic Embodiment”, a best-selling book in the category of personal development and
spiritual growth.
She is an entrepreneur, fitness expert, life-long dancer, holistic health and embodiment coach,
Reiki healer, inspirational speaker, performer, spiritual mentor, and teacher.
Tom Sullivan’s life is a testament to courage and challenge, gratitude and service. Born 3 months
prematurely, Tom was given too much oxygen in an incubator that saved his life but cost him his sight.
Sullivan’s achievements are remarkable despite the disability.
Educated at the Perkins School for the Blind, Providence College, and Harvard, Tom excelled as a
student and an athlete. His career as a singer/songwriter has taken him to concert venues around the world, and his roles as an
actor have entertained audiences on many TV series. He is the author of 14 books and his biography, If You Could See What I
Hear, was made into a highly successful movie in 1982.
Patty Sullivan was born in Detroit, Michigan, and raised in Tucson where she attended the
University of Arizona.
During a summer spent on Cape Cod, she met her husband, Tom Sullivan, who was attending
Harvard at the time but pursuing a career in the music business. While raising their family, Patty
traveled with Tom for his music concerts and television appearances as well as thousands of
motivational speaking engagements across the country.
And your host for the conversation:
Rebecca Forster started writing on a crazy dare and found her passion. Now a USA Today and Amazon bestselling author with over 40 books to her name. Laurie Levenson, CBS Legal Correspondent calls Forster’s legal and police thrillers “perfect…impossible to put down.”. The Witness Series, set in Hermosa Beach, is published worldwide and has over three million readers. Rebecca’s Finn O’Brien series takes inspiration from the micro-communities in Los Angeles.
