Author's Book Signing to Benefit Food Bank of Houston

Nov. 23, 2009 - PRLog -- NEW YORK - AUTHOR CELEBRATES NOVEL BY HELPING COMMUNITY FOODBANK OF HOUSTON BOOK SIGNING IN TO AID FOOD DRIVE

Bryant Park Press, Inc. will host a book signing reception and fund raiser for writer Jeffrey Onorato, author of The SIN of Addison Hall. The event will also raise money for the Food Bank of Houston.  In addition to a percentage of all books sales at the event going to the Food Bank, attendees are being asked to bring a non-perishable food donation.  The event is December 5, 2009, from 7:00pm-8:30pm at Sherlock’s Baker Street Pub  1952 A West Gray Street, Houston.

Shari Goldhagen, Author of Family and Other Accidents has written; “With echoes of Vonnegut, THE SIN OF ADDISON HALL conjures a chilling dystopia  where beauty rules. Even more frightening is how close to home this world hits”. Brett Ellen Block, Author of The Lightning Rule also acclaimed the book as; Artfully wrought and full of strong imagery, Onorato has crafted a world where how you look is how you live. This is a story that demands to be read”.

The seed for Onorato’s debut novel, “The SIN of Addison Hall”, was planted in the fall of 1999. While in his twenties Mr. Onorato visited the gym religiously and one Sunday morning, as he pulled into his gym's packed parking lot, he noticed that the lot of the church next to his gym had more empty beer cans than cars. It occurred to him that toning his body was more important to him then nurturing his soul and obviously he was not alone. Seven years later, writing primarily in overpriced coffee houses and Irish pubs, Mr. Onorato finished a novel that warns of the dangers of carnality. The novel has been well received and can be purchased at www.blockislandbooks, Amazon.com, and through bookstores everywhere. From now until Dec. 24, 2009 a dollar from every book purchased directly from the publisher’s website will go to the Food Bank of Houston.

Mr. Onorato will be in Houston for several days and is available for interviews.
