Mass Book Signing on Los Muertos Beach » Feb 10

Did you ever suspect that the strange person living in the condo next door was doing something nefarious? Maybe an international jewel thief or a spy or a mass murderer? This is a good time to find out. There are published authors living here in Vallarta and they’ll all be gathered in one public location this coming Sunday. They will be revealed.

On Sunday, February 10th from 2 to 4 pm at Daiquiri Dick’s, The Puerto Vallarta Writers’ Group, as a finale to their Weekend-Long Writers Workshop, will host a mass book signing by many local authors. Over 20 authors attended last year’s event.

For the authors and the masses, there is no charge to attend. Authors will be given table space (in the shade). This IS the literary scene in Puerto Vallarta.
