I was invited to speak this Sunday at the Public Affairs Forum at the First Unitarian Universalist Church of Austin – 4700 Grover Avenue Austin, TX 78756, (512) 452-6168. Forums start at 11:30 and last for one hour.
I expect to have fun and hope you will join me.
Here’s the program announcement:
Karen Kreps is Austin’s own version of Carrie Bradshaw, Ann Landers and Dr. Ruth. She is the author of Intimacies: Secrets of Love, Sex & Romance. She’ll share recollections and anecdotes from her seven years writing candid explorations of personal relationships, which appeared in a popular column published by The Good Life magazine (until the publication folded last year), and hosting public discussions about lovers and lust at BookPeople. She will address people’s Number One questions about relationships and encouraging audience questions and comments. No charge, just bring an open mind and a sense of humor.
