Christiane Salts, Local Author, Will Give a Presentation at the Buena Park Library

Local author, Christiane Salts, will be giving an author talk at the Buena Park Library on Wednesday, February 24, 2010 at 6:30 pm in the 2nd floor Board Room. She is the author of a book on a Buena Park icon, Mrs. Knott. Her book is an entertaining and informative biography called Cordelia Knott: Pioneering Business Woman. The book tells the story of Cordelia and how she developed a world-class food business and helped her family not only survive, but thrive during the worst of times.

Mrs. Salts will be talking about her book and also about how she came to write and publish it. She will be an inspiration to budding authors when she talks about why she thinks that everyone should not be shy about writing down their memoirs for their children and grandchildren to enjoy. Her talk called “Capturing History – How I Came to Write the Biography of an Unsung Buena Park Heroine: Cordelia Knott” will be enjoyable to Buena Park history buffs and those wanting to write their own book.

Light refreshments will be served. Books will be available for purchase after the presentation.
