Gulfport, Mississippi Welcomes Southern Author, Vicki Allen for Nov. 14 Book Signing

PRLog (Press Release) - Nov. 11, 2009 - "New Orleans Magazine" says "Drink One To Me, Christian Bennett" “is a real cautionary tale as to why you should never accept a cocktail from a stranger at a foreign bar.”

On November 14, Gulfport residents will have the opportunity to meet Allen when Barnes & Noble hosts the author for a book signing (11:00 a.m.–1:00 p.m., 15246 Crossroads Parkway)

"Drink One To Me, Christian Bennett" transports readers to warm beaches and exotic locales of Mexico, the Bahamas and beyond—all from the comfort of home:

Born youngest of four children into a large family of old money, American photographer Abigail Christensen entered a world already expecting great things of her, and spent her entire life trying to conform, striving to please a family she knew she never could.  Finally breaking free of stifling conventionality, she travels with her brother to Mexico, drifting from province to province as she captures photographs for an upcoming exhibit, wishing she had settled for the monotony of her previous lifestyle when she attracts the attention of legendary drug lord, Esai Molinero.

With a fast-paced story and a lovable heroine, "Drink One to Me, Christian Bennett" is fall reading at its best.
