Join historical fiction authors Jill G. Hall, Elizabeth St.John, and Janell Strube at the historic Sunshine Brooks Theater (217 N. Coast Highway, Oceanside, CA) for an engaging conversation about the remarkable women who inspired their novels. From peace activists and Civil War spies to artists who defied convention during the French Revolution, these extraordinary women challenged expectations and changed history.

Moderated by Porsche Locker, co-host of Coastal Crimes and media personality, the discussion will explore the real-life heroines who inspired the authors’ work. Following the program, guests are invited to meet the authors during a book signing. At 11:30 am, join the authors for a VIP High Tea gathering in Studio 219 with a suggested donation of $25 per person, benefiting Oceanside Theatre Company.
