Exclusive interviews with four international bestselling authors

Authors’ words, like genies, trapped within the pages of their books lay dormant until we open them, releasing the glorious sagas that reside in their sentences.“

Authors invent alternative realities. They have the incredible ability to make the written word create fantastic, mysterious, tragic, and humorous tales that sweep us off to other worlds. They help us find hidden truths and sometimes let us get lost in the fantasies they create. We become attached to their fictitious characters as if we know these people. Who hasn’t walked past Tiffany’s and thought about Holly Golightly or wanted to throw a party as extravagant as Jay Gatsby? The best part is that we get to enjoy…

Exclusive Breakfast at Tiffany Experience

I have been a member of the San Francisco Opera Guild’s board of directors since 1995, and I support the annual fundraising event at the Spring Fashion Show and Auction, hosted by Neiman Marcus, by purchasing one particular auction item: a trip to New York Fashion Week to attend an iconic fashion designer’s show, take a tour of the atelier, and interview that designer for my magazine’s spring fashion issue.

This year, the auction package included an exclusive “Breakfast at Tiffany” experience at Tiffany & Co.’s store in New York for 10 guests plus a $2,000 credit toward a dream piece of Tiffany jewelry. I was a big fan of the movie Breakfast at Tiffany’s in 1961, when I was a little girl dreaming to go to…

Napa’s Lighted Art Festival

Art after dark

It had been a while since I casually meandered through the streets of Napa. On that particular afternoon, the streets were crowded and festive with an infectious electric energy. It was the eve before the Chinese New Year. Street performers, drum troupes, and traditional Chinese dragons banged to the beat to celebrating the upcoming new Year of the Rabbit, symbolizing wisdom, power, and wealth. One couldn’t help but feed off the energy in the crowd.

Restaurants overflowed with customers, and the evening was crisp and cool. Thankful for the break in the weather, locals and visitors alike took to the streets in hopeful anticipation of what was to come. However, it wasn’t only the anticipation of good…

Nestled in a 4-acre, park-like setting in Burlingame is the stunning historic Kohl Mansion, which was the setting for a once-in-a-lifetime evening of music and fine dining with operatic superstar Andrea Bocelli on December 2.
