Uncorked: The Story Behind Picnics in the Vineyard
A companion to the novel, Picnics in the Vineyard. Written by Gail Robin Raes
Uncorked is written as an intimate conversation between the author and the reader. I revisit each of the book's characters and scenes, chapter-by-chapter.
Packed with delightful stories and fascinating behind-the-scenes antidotes as I reveal what is fact versus fiction within the Picnics in the Vineyard book.
I believe author, Anne Lamott, said it best, "You own everything that happened to you. Tell your stories. If people wanted you to write warmly about them, they should have behaved better."
I wanted to share Uncorked, with my readers because it's more than just a story-it's a piece of my heart and soul.
I will offer a candid look at the writing of Picnics in the Vineyard;
which was inspired by actual events.
Uncorked includes photos of the REAL people in the book, PDFs of Decorating and Entertaining, Picnics with Friends, Costumes, Book Club Kit and much more.
Life is a journey of unique experiences and the accumulation of these experiences is what prompted me to write Picnics in the Vineyard.
I hope you will find Uncorked an equally entertaining read.
It is said that writers write - we write our thoughts, our feelings, our emotions, our goals, our disappointments, our experiences. Basically, it's a story of our life.
Everyone has a story to tell; and this is mine.
I sincerely hope you find enjoyment in this journey.
Hugs and Happily-Ever-Afters,
Gail Robin Raes
