Author Steve Corbett, a former local journalist, will appear at The Bookworm in Santa Maria on Nov. 3.

Corbett will present a reading from his new book, Blood Red Syrah, a thriller based in Central Coast wine country. In Corbett's novel, killer Wally Wilson fights with "Syrah," a voice in his head that sends him from the gates of Michael Jackson's Neverland Ranch to the banquet hall of the Santa Maria Elks Club.

The event is free and open to the public. The Bookworm is located at 230 E Betteravia Road, suite K. For more information, call (805) 922-4282 or email [email protected].
