Meet Author Carol Kline on April 23 at the Ojai Art Center

What better night than Shakespeare’s birthday to host the next Literary Branch salon at the Ojai Art Center?

This one features Ojai’s own Carol Kline, a N.Y Times Best-Selling author who co- wrote several books for the “Chicken Soup” series which have sold over five million copies. She also co-authored “Love For No Reason: 7 Steps to Creating a Life of Unconditional Love” and “Happy for No Reason: 7 Steps to Being Happy from the Inside Out” with Marci Shimoff. With Jack Canfield and Gay Hendricks, she co-wrote “You’ve Got to Read this Book: 55 People tell the Story of the Book that Changed Their Life.”

Inspired by her experience writing Chicken Soup for the Pet Lover’s Soul in 1997, she became deeply involved in animal rescue work and helped create an animal shelter called Noah’s Ark Animal Foundation in Fairfield, Iowa.

A freelance writer/editor for more than thirty years, Carol specializes in narrative non-fiction and self-help books and has taught meditation programs to the general public since 1975.

Please join us on April 23, 7:00 p.m. in the Ojai Art Center gallery for her talk, followed by a reception and book signing. The event is free or a suggested donation of $5.00.

Hope to see you all there. There will be wine!!!
