Frances Mayes in Bella New Jersey, Under the New Brunswick Moon

Under the Tuscan Sun and Bella Tuscany author, Frances Mayes, will be speaking at the State Theatre on the evening of Tuesday, March 27th. She is the third in the inspirational lecture series from SmartTalk.

Ms. Mayes’ life took a turn after a vacation in Tuscany. She fell in love with the neglected 200-year old Tuscan farmhouse Bramasole while touring the countryside. Mayes bought it and didn’t return from her Italian holiday. This has resulted in her passion for Italian cooking, writing best-selling books, a new cookbook, traveling, and a furnishings and accessories line named  At Home in Tuscany.

She was previously a creative writing professor at San Francisco State University, then re-invented herself in Italy. You can still buy tickets for this evening of inspiration, and perhaps discover how to re-invite YOURself.
