Tomorrow's gallery walk is one for lovers of the printed word.  James Abraham, who converted his own love of words into a book-broker business located in the Atelier at Herald's Court, has brought Punta Gorda it's own festival for words, "Punta Gorda Book Week." And in conjunction with this event, Mr. Abraham has masterfully help craft a Punta Gorda Gallery Walk which will involve having authors greet and engage with visitors at many of the shops and restaurants in town on Thursday night.  

He designed the Gallery Walk game for this month, with the prize being a basketful of books and a crisp $100.00 bill, provided by the Downtown Merchants Association. At each of the participating merchants' businesses, a local author will be on hand to discuss the game and his or her book.  Participating merchants include River City Grill, Sunart Gallery & Framing, Swiss Chocolate+, Kay's Kloset, Papillon, Ooodles Antiques, Pilates for Life, Jack's, Red Hat Studio, Creations Gallery, Sea Grape Gallery, Harborside Wealth Managers, Design Access Interiors, A New Beginning, Peter's Knife Shop, Harbor Style, The Yoga Sanctuary, Big "D" Chicago Eatery, Cafe Ruelle, Centennial Bank.  Here is a list of the authors (identified thus far) that will be present to talk about their books and where they will be:
