Delia Ephron's Vast And Varied Works

While she comes from a writing family, Delia Ephron didn't start her writing career until her thirties. Since then she's made up for lost time, writing and producing screenplays, plays, books for children and adults and movies. Her latest novel, Siracusa, is already being adapted into a film.

Delia Ephron will discuss her life, career, and 'Siracusa' at Rainy Day Books at 7 p.m. on Wednesday, July 27. For more about the event and ticketing information, visit RainyDayBooks.com.

You deserve to know what your taxpayer dollars are paying for and what public officials are doing on your behalf – I’ll work to report on irresponsible government spending in the Kansas City area and shed light on controversies that slow government down. And when you hear my voice in the morning, you know you’re getting everything you need to start your day.
