Songwriter, screenwriter/producer of television series, entrepreneur and Palisadian Citizen of the Year Jimmy Dunne and actor Ted McGinley will host an author event on Wednesday evening, August 21, beginning at 6 p.m.
The event will focus on Dunne’s latest book, “Jimmy Dunne Says: 47 Short Stories That Are Sure to Make You Laugh, Cry—and Think.” The column—an homage to Will Rogers’ column, “Will Rogers Says”—has been published in the Palisadian-Post since it launched in August 2021.
“‘Jimmy Dunne Says’ is a collection of author Jimmy Dunne’s best bite-sized stories that Americans everywhere are spreading and sharing,” according to a synopsis. “These stories are heartfelt, smart and thought-provoking, and some will have you absolutely belly-laughing. Some stories about navigating everyday life today, some that take you right back to your childhood days.”
The event will begin with a discussion from 6 to 6:30 p.m., followed by a Q&A from 6:30 to 6:45 p.m. and a signing from 6:45 to 7 p.m. Dunne will be joined in conversation by McGinley, an actor known for roles in series like “Happy Days,” “The Love Boat” and “Married… with Children.”
Zibby’s Bookshop is located at 1113 Montana Avenue in Santa Monica. It is owned and operated by Marquez Knolls resident Zibby Owens.
