Allegra Huston: “Love Child” tour of America

Jim Nave, a poet friend of mine, encourages me to go hear Allegra Huston on her national book tour from Los Angeles to Asheville, which starts tomorrow, (and moves to Santa Barbara Tuesday night where I plan to hear her)  and I’m encouraging you to go  too. The schedule is below.

I met Nave at the Taos Poetry Circus in 2000; he was the host of the slam where I competed for the first time (and placed 7th out of 40!). After we practiced yoga together, he invited me to teach yoga at the creativity camp  he was facilitating with Julia Cameron, author of the Artists Way. While I didn’t get paid, I did get to participate in the week’s workshops, enjoy excellent meals, and meet many wonderful people.

Creativity Camp evolved into Nave’s latest projects, the Writing Salon and the Imaginative Storm, creativity workshops he leads around the world, often with Allegra Huston, author of Love Child: A Memoir of Family Lost and Found.

The book jacket states:

When Allegra Huston was four years old, her mother was killed in a car crash. Soon afterwards, she was introduced to an intimidating man wreathed in cigar smoke—the legendary film director John Huston—with the words, “This is your father.”

Nave writes:

Allegra’s book LOVE CHILD: A Memoir of Family Lost and Found is now in every major bookstore in America.

If you’d like to read an excerpt, you’ll find it in this April’s VOGUE. It’s titled, “California Dreaming.” The tag line reads, “A playful summer with young Jack Nicholson and her sister Anjelica, gave Allegra Huston a taste of family life she had never known.”

Allegra’s national book tour begins this Monday morning, April 6, 11:30 am at The Regency Club, 10900 Wilshire Blvd, Ste 1700 in Los Angeles. It concludes the week of May 2-10 in Black Mountain, NC at our Imaginative Storm Writing Salon, followed by an appearance on the main stage at The Lake Eden Arts Festival.

If you’d like to work with Allegra, we still have room in our Salon in Black Mountain, May 5-8. For more on Allegra and LOVE CHILD, visit her new website: www.allegrahuston.com.

You’ll also find us both on Facebook: Allegra Huston and James Nave. Please feel free to send us a friend request.

Here’s Allegra’s book tour schedule; we both hope you can make it to a reading. And thanks for telling your friends.
