Author Q & A: Maria Palmer!
Join us as we chat in person with author Maria Palmer about On the Rocks, her inspirations, and her writing process. Audience questions welcome.
On the Rocks chronicles the real-life journey of restauranteur Joseph Costanzo, Jr., from his rise to success in the 1990s as
owner of the highly acclaimed Primadonna Restaurant in McKees Rocks, radio host, entrepreneur, columnist, and aspiring politician to his sharp fall in the early 2000s, ending in an investigation and a stint in federal prison. Costanzo is a complex character whom readers will admire for his confidence and rebuke for his arrogance, will love for his generosity and despise for his egotism, and will learn from both his attention to detail and lack thereof. This driven, not-your-average Joe is an unforgettable character who achieves the seemingly impossible but can't help getting in his own way. Come along with Joe for a bumpy ride On the Rocks!
Come see the author even if you don't read the book.
