Kim Bradley, Author—Wine and Cheese Event

Romanza Presents ...

On Thursday, May 7, 2026, from 3:00 to 4:00 p.m., the Romanza Festivale presents K. Pearson Bradley, historical fiction author, at a wine and cheese event at the Voorhees Mission House, at St. Cyprian's Episcopal Church.

Join Bradley for wine, cheese, and a conversation titled: "When History Becomes the Story: Research and the Art of Historical Fiction." Bradley is currently writing the multi-book Merchant of Tides historical fiction series, about characters who started in the Greek Isles, traveled to New Smyrna in the New World, and ultimately arrived in St. Augustine. She discusses the extensive research that enabled her to bring the British Colonial period to life in her book and to accurately portray characters from Florida, the Mediterranean, and beyond. 

Bradley has published three books in her planned five-book series: Tear of Chios, Scions of Smyrna, and Mists of Menorca.

Admission: Free
