Starshine’s a guest on the New Books panel at the book-lovers’ event “Wait Till Next Year” on Friday night, Sept. 25. The evening pays tribute to Santa Barbara’s great literary events, the Writers’ Conference and Book & Author Festival, both of which are on hiatus until 2010.

Starshine will discuss “Keep Your Skirt On” with other authors from 7:50 to 8:30 p.m. in the Faulkner Gallery of the Santa Barbara Public Library, 40 E. Anapamu St.

Admission is FREE. Great night to stroll downtown. Stop in!

It’s that time of year once again, to vote for your favorite Santa Barbara people, places and things in the Independent’s Best of SB Readers’ Poll. So if you happen to have a favorite local columnist (wink wink), please cast your vote!

Starshine will be on a Women’s Lit panel at the Ventura Book Festival with Harley Jane Kozak from “Parenthood.” SUPER hilarious. It’s a free event right on the beach.
