Wendy Wax on St. Pete Beach Credit: via the St. Pete Beach Public Library

Best of the Bay-winning local writer Wendy Wax (she's also a USA Today bestselling author, but we ask you, what's the higher honor?) has a new book out — Best Beach Ever. Like all of her Ten Beach Road novels, it's set in Pass-A-Grille. So, of course her book signing is on St. Pete Beach — specifically, at the St. Pete Beach Library. Everyone there can enter a drawing (proceeds benefit the St. Pete Beach Library) to get their name in one of Wax's next books.  After the signing (and a book talk, natch), join Wax for a beachside celebration at Paradise Grille (half-price beer and $5 wine in her honor, as well as a free sunset).
