‘Meet the Author’ March 10, April 8

Renee Gatz will be participating in two “Meet the Author” events, where she will be discussing her new book, “Wise Words & Witty Expressions,” a collection of expressions that Gatz heard repeatedly throughout her growing-up years from her parents. Gatz’s parents used the expressions captured in her book to help teach their children how to keep life in perspective, remind them what was important, and to not take life too seriously.

The events are as follows:

• March 10 from 12:30 to 1:30 p.m. and 4:30-6 p.m. at the Blue Colt Book Store, Middlesex County College, 2600 Woodbridge Ave., Edison;

•April 8 at 7 p.m. at the Old Bridge Public Library, 1 Old Bridge Plaza, Municipal Center, Old Bridge.
