June Meeting

The What and the How

Napa Valley Writers will feature Paul Madonna, an award-winning artist and best-selling author known for his unique blend of drawing and storytelling that has been heralded as an “all new art form.”

Paul is the creator of the enigmatic art series All Over Coffee, which ran in the San Francisco Chronicle for twelve years, the author of five entertaining and sharply plotted mystery novels books, including the Emit Hopper Mystery Series. His book, Everything Is Its Own Reward, won the 2011 NCBA Award for best book.

Paul’s work ranges from novels to cartoons to large-scale public murals and can be found internationally in print as well as in galleries and museums, including the Oakland Museum of California, the William Blake Association in France, and the San Francisco International Airport. The Commissions, a mystery set in San Francisco, will be available September 2023.

Claudia Hagadus Long will be June’s Member Reader.

Cost is $5 for members, $7 for non-members. Students with ID, free.
