Thanks to all who tuned in this past week to hear my story “Finding YiaYia: A Greek Tragedy,” on The Moth Radio Hour.
If you missed it on the radio, you can listen on demand here at your leisure. I am one of 4 storytellers on the broadcast. My intro and segment begins at 20:00 and ends at 35:00 with a mention of my support of My Sisters’ Place, NY, a not-for-profit organization that provides housing and other vital services to victims of domestic violence.
I hope you will please consider a donation tomspny.org in memory of my grandmother, Maria Anastasiou Derecas.

Hope to see you this Sunday, October 21st at the next Read650 event. The theme is “Hoildays” and I will be reading “The Turkey Shoot” a Thanksgiving story from my childhood.
It’s been awhile since I publicly read my short story “Crazy Joe” but the Italian American Writers Association 2nd Saturday open mic event at the Sidewalk Cafe on October 13th seemed like a good time to share how I learned to play Black Jack from Crazy Joe Gallo.
Join me next Saturday, October 13th at the Sidewalk Cafe on Avenue A in NYC for the IAWA (Italian American Writers Association) open mic. See you at 5:30pm.
Hard to tell but that’s me up on stage, returnign to my both my Italian and Greenwich Village roots, reading a story about growing up in Angelina’s Restaurant, at the IAWA (Italian American Writers Association) Saturday open mic at Cornelia Street Cafe.
I was honored to be invited to tell my story Finding YiaYia: A Greek Tragedy to the NYSJC – New York Service and Justice Collaborative Fellows, and run a storytelling workshop for them down at The Oaks The New Dawn Foundation in New Rochelle last night.
